I’ve been working for Vitalise for over a year and the work that Vitalise does has inspired me to do my bit. Vitalise provides breaks for individuals with physical disabilities and I know that for some people, as I have been told, it provides individuals with the opportunity to look at life more positively. A physical disability is not simply a case of someone that can’t walk. Many of our guests, have many other disabilities, which can be a strain on their normal living, some individuals live with physical pain and need 24hr nursing care because of this.
I have spoken to people that have not left their house in months, because they are unable to get out of their house and are therefore unable to be as independent as they would please. Simple things like going for a stroll, going to work and shopping are not possibilities for everyone.
Vitalise give people the opportunity to have a break and enjoy things like going to the theatre and sightseeing, with the 24hr nursing care that they require. It also gives the carers, which are often close relatives, the opportunity to have a break. Vitalise work hard to subsidise the cost of breaks as far as possible and would like your help, so that we can continue this great service.
Now......because of this, I want to jump out of a plane, (with a parachute), it all makes sense, so please sponsor me (and wish me good luck)!!
