In 1993 he jumped the Great Wall of China but three years later he suffered spinal and neurological injuries in the crash in Warwickshire.
After walking the 2011 London Marathon in 50 days and raising more than £100,000 he was selected to carry the Olympic torch through Lewes.
He was made an OBE last year for services to charitable giving.
