Story
I am a Rehab Therapist working in the neuro-physiotherapy department at the Brightwell Centre in North Bristol.
I work with people who have MS and I myself too have MS . I would love to raise as much money for the centre to enable people like myself to live a happy, healthy and strong life. The centre enables people to keep part of their independence and enjoy their life. I want to to be able to raise money to give everyone the best opportunities to become stronger with more available equipment.
There are an estimated 4.7 million people in the UK living with a neurological condition, in our region alone, in 2018, it was thought that just over 10,000 people were living with a long term chronic neurological condition.A diagnosis of a neurological condition is often a traumatic moment, and The Brightwell offers a safe space to terms with the news and work out a way to move forward. The therapies we offer are designed to address the many different symptoms of a neurological condition and our aim is to help people live a full, meaningful and independent life.Our core treatment of oxygen therapy is not available outside of MS Therapy Centres, apart from a handful of very expensive private clinics. For most of our members the idea of funding private treatment, not available on the NHS, is completely out of reach.
