A DONVALE father who lost the use of his legs 24 years ago will handcycle through Cambodia to raise awareness of disabled sports.
Gary Connor, who became a paraplegic after a workplace accident in 1988, will lead a group of 16 cyclists of all abilities on an eight-day tour in June for health-promoting organisation Disability Sport and Recreation.
Mr Connor, who led his first tour in Vietnam last year, said he became an ambassador for the organisation to demonstrate that people with disabilities were capable of anything.
