Colin Javens, who is paralysed from his shoulders down, has used a tiny movement in one wrist to drive from Stoke Mandeville Hospital in the UK to Cape Town, South Africa.

Javens is raising funds for the rehabilitation and welfare of other people paralysed by spinal injury. He was born in Kenya and had received treatment in the UK for his injuries from a 2000 accident.
