VIDEO: AS he nears the first anniversary of his one man anti-hate disability awareness campaign around Britain Warrington’s former Paralympian Adrian Derbyshire is now planning to go global.
In the past year Adrian, who has an inoperable brain tumour, has taken his message to 39,000 school children around the country, hand cycling more than 3,000 miles, raising awareness around bullying, hate crimes and disability awareness.
Adrian, a Trustee at Warrington Disability Partnership, has now been in talks with 14 different countries about taking his campaign global.
He has been backed by Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer and various local businesses.
The work of Adrian and Warrington Disability Partnership has inspired local businessman Carl Oates from MBS Site Supplies to donate 2.5 per cent of all revenue generated in Warrington to the charity.
