Double amputee racing driver Billy Monger took on a triathlon-inspired challenge for Comic Relief last month – and Chichester played a huge part in helping him prepare him for it.
Over the course of four days Billy, who had to have both of his lower legs amputated after a crash during a Formula 4 race at Donnington Park in 2017, walked, kayaked and cycled 140 miles – but first he had to learn how to kayak.
In January, Chichester Ship Canal Trust granted the 21-year-old permission to take to the canal to train in his modified kayak and be filmed for his Red Nose Day special.
