Story
We’re raising money to buy an electrical add on for Catherine Manning’s wheelchair. Catherine is the mother of 3 wonderful primary school aged children and wife of Paul, a Teaching assistant and jeweller. She suffers from severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (a condition that is characterized by easy bruising, joint hypermobility (loose joints), weakness and severe pain) and Fibromyalgia, but does all she can to live a full life, serving and supporting others, raising money for charities, working with Beavers (part of the Scouting movement) and championing the cause of Arthritis sufferers, taking that cause to the heart of government. However, Catherine’s health challenges are increasingly getting in the way of her ability to live her life as her heart demands she should.
The purchase of an electric add on to Catherine’s wheelchair would help her reclaim some of her independence and allow her to continue to live her life in the meaningful way she has chosen to do. Every penny will help move us closer to our target. Please give generously as Catherine has given generously with her work.

7 years agoOne more big thank you to everyone who supported our campaign to fund a power adaptor for Catherine's wheelchair. We hit our target and went a little over, which should certainly help to cover the handling fees for the campaign. It also means that Catherine can go to test the new system today knowing that the money is there for it to be fitted. Thank you all for your generosity.

7 years ago4 days left to go in our fundraising drive to get Catherine a power adaptor for her wheelchair. Just over £500 left to raise. Catherine, her husband Paul and their three lovely children will really benefit from the increased independence Catherine will gain from this power adaptor. They're all about giving of themselves to the community. Lots of people have already given to the fundraiser, thank you. We just need a little more to reach our target. Every little helps. So please donate if you can.
