The Back-Up Trust was founded in 1986 by Mike Nemesvary, a tetraplegic and former British and European Freestyle Champion and James Bond stunt double, whose life was devastated after he broke his neck during a workout on a trampoline in the mid 1980's. Despite being paralysed from the shoulders down, he was determined to get back to the life he enjoyed. An appeal was launched and, thanks to its success, the charity was set up to help others in a similar position.
