Story

Hi everyone my name is Adele i am the mother of a young man called Chris he is learning disabled and an above knee amputee. Chris has recently found a new found love for sport by taking part in wheelchair rugby for our local team , in order for Chris to keep playing he now needs a specialist chair these cost £5000 plus they are all individually made to fit each person individually by a company called roma sports. Please if you can help us it really would be truly appreciated we currently have a fundraising group on facebook with raffles and auctions etc going on and are hoping to organize quiz nights etc in the near future if you can help in any way we really would be eternally grateful with many many thanks Adele and Chris

Hi guys sadly due to the current situation with covid 19 the sponsored cycle will not take place this month as planned but we hope to reschedule to a later time , the family funday will also not take place for the same reason , so we are at a standstill right now as even our facebook page isn't seeing much activity, chris is also waiting surgery on his left shoulder so this does give us a little extra time to get his chair and with no sport taking place either currently hes not played since February time but please help if you can many thanks
