Lexi Chambers is attempting to travel the greatest distance in 12 hours using a standard wheelchair.
A former NHS nurse is aiming to set a world record for using a wheelchair.
Ms Chambers is undertaking the challenge at Exeter Arena on Monday and raising money for a charity that gets military veterans into sport. Ms Chambers is a below-knee amputee with two chronic pain conditions, Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome and fibromyalgia."When this happened, I did not want it to be the end of sport for me, so I adapted my expectations and found a way to participate in sport again using what equipment I had," she said."I am just one person who is trying to make a difference with what I have. I wish to motivate people to engage in sport with what equipment they have," she continued.
