    Story

    In 2015, at the age of 52 David Fraser was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis which has severely affected his health both physically and mentally where the disease continues to attack his brain. This has also in turn brought on Fronto Temporal Dementia (FTD). David's family have been struggling to support him with his ever increasing complex needs.

    David is now sadly in a home in Colchester where his family and friends visit him. David cannot support his head or body any more and getting comfortable is becoming increasingly difficult which is where this fund raising comes in. A custom made chair is available that would make David comfortable and help him to steer clear of becoming bed bound. The only problem is the whopping price tag it comes with.

    When David was young, he was an excellent swimmer. So good that he was asked to train for the Olympics which he declined at the time. It is for this reason that his children and children-in-laws will be partaking in The Mass openwater swim in August 2023 to honour his memory to swimming and to raise funds for this chair.

    Anything you can spare in these hard times is hugely appreciated and means so much to us.

    Thank you and lots of love,

    Tom Fraser

      Well, we’ve only gone and done it! Yesterday we completed The Mass Swim in Bedford and are incredibly proud of ourselves for all the training sessions we put in to achieve it. Shoutout to Sean’s Goggles which decided to break when he got in the water 😅 Thank you all again for the contributions and support both we and Dad have had from you. We are deeply touched and will be using the extra funds to help get Dad specialist support which was previously not possible. All our love and thanks, Thomas, Charlotte, Michelle, Stacey, Sean XxxxxxxxxxxX
