Every two hours someone in the UK is paralysed by a spinal cord injury. It can happen to anyone at any time and no one is prepared for how it will change their life. Aspire is a national charity that provides practical help, supporting spinal cord injured people from injury to independence.

Story

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Brian Lear is a renowned British Show Jumping course builder and top producer of competition horses in the south east. Tragically his lorry ramp collapsed on him at The Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead, he was&nbsp;taken to The Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, before being transferred to The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, Middlesex. Brian has crushed two vertebrae, cracked five others, and he has extensive spinal cord damage, right now the prognosis is poor, Brian currently has no feeling from the waist down.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Any donations recieved from this page will go to Aspire - a charity set up to help patients and families affected by spinal cord damage. Aspire will then allow Brian and his family access to the money when they wish to purchase something, from a laptop to modifying Brians home for wheelchair access. Aspire have a rehabilitation centre at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, where Brian is, and they will provide Brian with anything he wants!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Brian is now seeing visitors, but please liase with his wife Jan, who is organising the visits, as the hospital&nbsp;are very strict with visiting hours and number of people in the ward&nbsp;etc. Visiting hours are 4 PM - 8 PM</span></p>
