Story
Our friend Glenn the Viking loves to go to raves. Unfortunately, due to accidents suffered and severe damage to his back, he needs an electric wheelchair to get about. His current chair is extremely heavy and takes a long time to take apart and put together in order to fit into standard cars. He can travel by train, but sometimes it would be easier if he could sit in a passenger seat of a car to be taken to raves.
He’s found a travel electric wheelchair that is much lighter in weight and can be folded down easily to be put into the boot of a car. Unfortunately it costs about £2,000 and he is on benefits, so its a big financial commitment. SO, we at Lazer FM decided to hold a charity raffle at the free event that we held at Bar Flava in Stevenage on Sat 1 July. People had a chance to win some signed rave goodies. We had signed vinyl records, signed T shirts from the likes of Bunter, Uncle Dugs, Vibes and others on the rave scene, and mix CDs etc.
I’m sure that you will agree that this is a good cause. Although the raffle is now over, we have been asked to continue the fundraising (and thought that it would be a good idea).
We raised over £250 on the night, but hope to raise £1,000 of the £2,000 he needs, but whatever we can raise will be good.
Thanks very much for your support.

7 years agoHi everyone! Firstly, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU (that's from Glenn really, but I want to thank you all too). The page is closing TONIGHT at midnight, so if there's a few extra quid that you want to chuck in for good measure, then please do. Glenn has enough with what we have raised here already to get the chair - in fact, he got all excited and ordered it already!!!! He's coming to The Box 3 in Bristol with me and Aidan (DJ Relm) so we will see some of you there. Then he will be at Jungle Revival with us in High Wycombe on 6 Oct. :)

7 years agoWe've broken through the £500 mark thanks to 2 donations from the Ellams, thanks guys! Let's keep this going for the rest of the summer so Glenn can get the chair he wants for the events coming up in the autumn.

7 years agoThanks so much to everyone who has donated to Glenn's fund. We have just passed 25% of our initial target of £1,000, but there's no reason why we wouldn't increase the target if the support continues.

Although this is my crowdfunding page, I am NOT the bnneficiary of it. I set it up to help Glenn, who is my friend and who is very supportive of everything that I try to do. He deserves my help in return, so we are trying to raise him money for an electric travel wheelchair.
