Story
Mike is paralysed from the neck down due to Progressive MS. He drives an electric wheelchair with his chin. His condition has deteriorated but his will to live as full a life as possible never falters. Mike has a specialist adapted chair which includes programmes to enable him to change position, unlock the door, answer the telephone and call for help.
Mikes current chair is worn out and his needs have changed. The chair no longer gives him the support he needs to remain safe and as comfy as possible.
The Wheelchair Department cannot provide for Mike's needs, therefore we have to raise the money independently.
Our wheelchair specialist at Country Lifestyles has come up with the ideal prescription, we just need to raise some money.
Mike is fighting this condition (The Beast) and wants to lead his life in the best way he can.
Mike is a true inspiration to us all and we want to do our best to help him to have a good quality of life.
Thank you for taking the time to read this

8 years agoWhen I launched this page, I had no idea of the impact it would have. Not only have we reached target but we have felt the love and support of so many people. With so much negativity in the world today, what a pleasure it is to be shown the true touch of human kindness. From a child donating the contents of her Money Box to a local Company donation - Thank you all!!! 👏👏👏👏💞
