    Story

    I aim to climb Snowdon wearing a Bob the Builder costume to raise funds for my paralysed Brother in Law. The story below was written by his daughters, Jo and Kath

    Last year our Dad, Karl Clay, suffered a terrible life changing injury where he fractured the C2 bone in his neck. The injury was so bad that it damaged the spinal cord too much and has left him Tetraplegic. This means he cannot move any of his limbs or breath for himself. He has to live on the ventilator and be cared for 24 hours a day by 2 qualified nurses. Luckily he can eat, drink and communicate perfectly and can still make us laugh daily. So far he has been a complete inspiration to us all and has never let or showed signs of this injury beating him. The life changing side effects of the injury are extremely difficult to manage and live with. He's unable to do the simplest of tasks unaided, such as scratching his own face.

    Recently Dad tried an FES machine which is designed to simulate riding a bike which works his muscles and increases his heart rate. This helps with muscle tone, health of his heart and muscle spasms. Dad fell in love with the machine and from that dad realised maybe he could, with the help of the machine keep his body from deteriorating. Unfortunately, the machine costs £15,000 - £18,000 which is a huge amount of money. We are looking to raise as much as we can to go towards this, so every contribution matters. Over this summer my Sister, our friends and I will be taking on big challenges to help raise some money. During the summer we will posting updates on our Facebook, twitter and Instagram pages so please follow us for all the updates and challenges we have taken on and hopefully completed!
