Aylesbury student set to skateboard to Buckingham Palace
AN Aylesbury student is to skateboard to Buckingham Palace for charity.
Chris Mullins is a film student studying at the University of Worcester.
For many years, skateboarding has been a big part of his life and he has produced student films designed at changing people's attitudes and opinions towards skateboarding which allows them to make their own decision.
Chris is now using both his hobby of skateboarding and talents as a film maker to raise money for the Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association, commonly known as DebRA.
This charity supports the research and its endeavor to cure the genetic skin blistering condition. 'The Boy whose Skin Fell Off' is a film starring Jonny Kennedy, who suffered from this condition, but did not allow it to stop him living his life. Jonny Kennedy in the film had a profound effect on Chris and has inspired him to help the cause.
Chris plans to do this by skateboarding from his local skate park in Aylesbury to Buckingham Palace which is approximately 45 miles. This will be a sponsored event and is done in aid of DebRA and also to raise the profile of skateboarding in the UK.
