- Funded on Thursday, 18th July 2019
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
Cory is a 18 year old lad who is struggling with his independence due to the life limiting muscle wasting condition, Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy. Unfortunately Cory has deteriorated faster than expected, meaning he is unable to use his current controller that aids him with day to day routines and independence. This also has been affecting his self esteem and mental health.
We are raising money for a new joystick controller for his power wheelchair. Which will enable him to regain some of his independence.
A piece from Cory.
"I would like to thank you in advance for any donations. The new controller will allow me to continue to live my life to the fullest possible. Doing such simple things as visiting the pub with my mates and going to view rugby matches. The controller will give me the independence and self esteem I need to keep me going." "Thank you"
