A former footballer has completed a 150-mile cycle - little more than 10 months after losing both of his lower legs in a hit-and-run crash.
Shaun Whiter, 28, joined around 100 people on a two-day tour of Suffolk yesterday and today (May 14 and 15) using a specially built handcycle.
Shaun, who lives in Burrough Green, Cambridgeshire, was left for dead at the side of a road near Newmarket last summer after Jan Adamec, from Haverhill, crashed into him – pinning Shaun between his own BMW and another car.
After fleeing the scene, Adamec was caught and jailed for more than three years after he admitted to causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
The 150-mile ride is aimed at raising money for Ipswich Town’s adopted charity, Prostate Cancer UK, but cyclists have the option of choosing a different charity of their own instead.
Shaun has since made astonishing progress in his recovery, learning to walk on prosthetic legs only five months after the accident.
The former Newmarket FC footballer has raised £2,760 for charities East Anglian Air Ambulance and the Friends of Ipswich Town.
