Hifi Pig heard about a young guy and audiophile in the USA, Ricky Sterling. Ricky's story really touched us. This young man has been a paraplegic nearly his whole life after falling from a 6th floor window when he was just 2 years old. Since 2009, Ricky's insurance have only been able to supply him with a very non-manoeuvrable, hospital type wheelchair that is not suited to his needs, this makes his life uncomfortable and difficult. Add to that the fact that the tyres are now coming off his chair and you can understand how this is impacting on Ricky's life. We are aiming to raise £3000 to go towards his new chair, which will cost 4500 US$. To do this we are having a raffle!
