Bangalore, June 30: A former soldier in the Indian Army, who lost his left arm and foot in an accident,is on an all-India cycling expedition with the message 'nothing is impossible', to inspire people to overcome whatever hurdles that come their way.

A resident of Ambala in Haryana,Prabhjit Singh joined the army in 1984 and was commissioned into the J & K Rifles but could serve only for five years due to a railway accident.

Not to be bogged down,he hit upon the expedition and began his journey on January 19 this year, 41-year-old Prabhjit Singh told reporters here on Tuesday.

He had covered 18 states and plans to go to Tamil Nadu from here. ''I have covered 9546 km cycling for 939 hours over 65 days,'' he said.

He said the journey was 'arduous' as he had to travel through difficult terrain and weather but wants to prove that ''with grit and determination one can achieve anything.''
