Story
On the 19th October 2025, Kim Chance, Pippa Rudman, Claire London, Kelly Perkins, Sonya Nessbach, Jo Hampton, Claire Northcote, Cazza Mantle, Sue Woodhead, Gill Lawrence, Bri Keith, Helen Twomey, Heidi Knowles, Shona George, Kate Custis, Alison Potter and Jan Lenton are taking part in The Great South Run to raise much needed funds for Harry.
On New Years Eve 2023, Harry had a fall at home resulting in a complete spinal fracture and life changing injuries.
Harry's rehabilitation journey so far has been challenging, both physically and emotionally, but his resilience and determination are truly inspiring. And at 24, he still has his whole life ahead of him. As a quadriplegic, Harry now requires 24 hour care, and he needs lots of support to deal with all the challenges he now faces.
Harry's family has very close ties with the club, particularly the High Elms 10K which is the main fundraiser. Harry's aunt, as a club member has run the cake stall at the 10K for several years, alongside Harry's mum.
There is vital equipment that he needs to get his independence back. The most important thing that Harry needs right now is a modified vehicle. He will need one with a lift and enough space for him to travel in his wheelchair. Being able to travel independently means that his opportunity to share the events his friends and family are having increases significantly. The simple idea of being able to come home for Christmas and family celebrations become so much more of a reality. The Whole Magee family are very grateful for the club's kindness.
