Same Day Courier Services, Essex

That’s right  you did read correctly, a pedalo…

Mike Boss from The Boss Corporation who provides leasing for vehicles and other equipment, is going to be a courier for the day and be in charge of ‘our’ pedalo, and make a ‘delivery’ on our behalf. He is planning on crossing the Solent, on a pedalo to raise funds for the Wessex Rehab Centre.

Why? well, it’s for a good cause…

In a moment of madness, our friend Mike who runs The Boss Corporation decided that he wanted to do something for charity. A specific charity – The Wessex Rehabilitation Centre. It was the superb team here who put Mike through 3 months of intensive physiotherapy after, in another (completely uncharacteristic) moment of madness, he had climbed a ladder in Washington DC, during hurricane season.

The resulting accident left Mike with bits of his elbows normally found on the inside, on the outside… After a 5 hour operation he was flown back to the UK, and referred to Salisbury District Hospital. When the cast was eventually removed he had no movement in his arm at all. This was terrible news. It was his drinking arm.

Five years on from the accident and Mike still raves about the team at the Wessex Rehabilitation Centre and the fantastic work they do there, so in order to show them just how much he appreciates their work, he will be performing another death defying stunt. But this time it’s on purpose.

Weather permitting, The Great Solent Pedal will take place on Saturday 6th June 2009. To give them the “easiest” crossing (and therefore greatest chance of survival!), the initial plan is that Mike will we will be setting off from Stokes Bay, Gosport at 09.00am aiming to end up on the beach at Ryde, The Isle of Wight. These plans are subject to change depending on the conditions on the day so keep an eye on their website for updates.

Arrow Light Haulage are please to be one of Mike’s sponsors. If you feel sorry for Mike, you can make a donaton here, awww, go on and make a donation anyway. It’s not often you see or hear of such stupidity bravery…

Go for it Mike, we are all very proud of you.

Sarah, Kevin & the ALH team
