Story
Jenny Anderson has worked with people with a disability for over 30 years. She is a member of a dedicated team giving weekly therapeutic horse riding sessions to over 100 people of all ages .
Throughout most of her adult life Jenny, from Gullane in East Lothian, has helped to provide riding therapy, firstly as a volunteer with the Drum Group of the Riding for the Disabled Association and then as a co-founder of the Muirfield Group, now known as Muirfield Riding Therapy .
Sadly, in June 2016, Jenny suffered a life changing riding accident which has left her confined to a wheelchair. She has faced her situation bravely and is already making weekly visits to the riding therapy centre, but is very restricted in her uncomfortable manual wheelchair. After all that Jenny has given to others over the years, her friends would love to give her a present in the shape of an electric wheelchair. This will enable her to regain her independence and become an active volunteer again.
Throughout all the months of her treatment and rehabilitation Jenny has been very stoical and full of praise for the NHS, but there 300 people ahead of her on the waiting list for electric wheelchairs. Our hope is to raise £7,000 so that we can give Jenny the present she deserves as soon as possible.
Please help us to raise funds to help purchase Jenny's Wheels!

5 years agoThank you all very much for your very generous donations. The money is now in Jenny’s bank account and we shall keep you informed on progress, which has been rather slow, in finding a wheelchair that is suitable for Jenny. Jenny is doing amazingly well, always cheerful and interested in current affairs (even Brexit!). We are all anxious to see her out and about more, so foot on the accelerator for this wheelchair! Thank you once again for your support. Gill (Morrison) and Anne (McIntyre) – Coaches with Muirfield Riding Therapy.

Jenny's friends, alongside colleagues at Muirfield Riding Therapy, have asked me to set up this page to reach out to friends, colleagues and supporters to see if we can help Jenny by raising funds to buy a much needed electric wheelchair.
