    Weʼve raised £317 to help towards buying a custom-made wheelchair, and an orthopaedic bed; both of which will help Paul sleep and move around at home.

    Funded on Tuesday, 1st May 2018

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    All,

    So for those of you who weren't aware, 12 years ago my brother Paul was taken over by a condition called Transverse Myelitis.

    This is a horrible and debilitating disease which has ultimately stripped him of the ability to walk, and more recently has been a factor in his losing one of his legs.

    Consequently certain modifications are necessary to enable him to go about daily life, and due to the loss of his leg he is finding it increasingly difficult to get around his bungalow.

    There are two things that would make his life easier...a customised wheelchair, and an orthopaedic bed. The wheelchair he currently has is a standard nhs chair but is too big to get through doorways etc, and his standard double bed doesn't provide the support needed to enable him to sleep comfortably, so at the moment he sleeps sitting up in a chair. Not good!!

    Anyway...I'm hoping to change that, by raising money towards purchasing both items, so he can live comfortably.

    I hope you will help?!

    My aim is to complete an amount of challenges between now and May 2018, in the hope that we can raise funds to buy what he needs!! 👍🏻😁

      Ok, so final weigh in...Murphy managed to melt away 9lb in total, from 10st 5lb to 9st 10lb...so just less than a pound a week 😁 Once again thanks SO much to everyone who has donated so far, and if anybody would like to contribute from here on, the idea was £1 for each pound I managed to shed 😉👍🏻 However...any small contribution is massively appreciated ☺️ (Just click on the Just Giving link 👍🏻) I’m gonna be doing a few organized events in 2018 also... Merry Christmas to all of you...and much love x

      Just a little update...6lbs off so far! It’s steady, but it’s comin’ off 😁 That’s the good news...the bad news is I may be seeing Christmas out from behind bars, having battered Shaun T to death with a yoga mat!! 😳 Shaun T...T25 workouts #masochisticthatisall
