Funds needed for adapted buggy to get Tommy to the beach!, 11 May 2021
Little Tommy, who his family call "the happiest little chap you'll ever meet", is in desperate need of funds to pay for a specialised, all-terrain buggy.

Story

16-year-old Tommy, who has an extremely rare condition, is short of funds to pay for a life-enhancing, adapted buggy. The teen, whose body size resembles that of a six-year-old's, is limited on where he can go as his wheelchair is unable to move over uneven ground. Tommy and his mum are restricted to going out in fine weather conditions as his wheelchair doesn't have a rain cover and his heart and lung condition means he finds it difficult to breathe when it's windy. The all-terrain buggy, which would be specially fitted to fit Tommy, would provide the youngster and his mum the ability to enjoy trips to the beach together. With the specialised equipment Tommy, who loves waving at everyone he passes, and his mum can experience some much-needed respite as it will enable them to go on days out and enjoy holidays with ease.
