Story
In May, my sister Bethany had an accident resulting in her being unable to walk without the aid of crutches and suffering with a lot of pain. Her journey through the NHS has been long winded and recently she has received news that the operation she needs won't be until this time next year! I think 16 months on crutches is unbearable for anyone, never mind the other repercussions this news has on her life, loosing her job, her apartment and independence!
I have therefore decided to raise money for Beth to have the operation privatly, reducing the wait from 1 year, to 2 weeks! I will start by running York half marathon on September 10th, and continue fundraising in other ways until I have met my target.
For those of you who know Beth you will know of her generous, kind hearted, optimistic, fun character and know how hard it has been for her already; if you feel moved to donate any amount you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Tamsin xxx

7 years agoI just want to offer a huge thank you to everyone for your generosity and kindness in donating towards getting Beth off her crutches. This journey has been an emotional rollercoaster and because of you we have managed to take more than a year off the waiting period for treatment, which is just unbelievable! The results of Beth's last scan, show the injury to be worse than the consultant had expected, moving her operation forward to 3 months instead of the initial 10. Beth has been truly touched and we can't thank you enough. xxx

7 years agoHi guys, just wanted to keep you updated on Bethany's progress. Yesterday she had a scan followed by a steroid injection, this would not have happened as soon as it has without the generosity of giving on this site, as well as the cash donations we have received. We are one step closer to getting her off these crutches! The next stage after finding out the results of the scan, would be another steroid injection, followed by the operation, which is a longer wait than we initially thought, so we are still raising funds. Thanks again everyone x
