Iʼve raised £2,825 to help a colleague and friend Adam, a serving Police Officer who has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of MS.
- Funded on Sunday, 12th February 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
Adam is a friend and colleague, he is a serving police officer and has put himself in harms way on many occasion to help others. 6 months ago his life changed forever when he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis, he thought he had a back injury. In that time Adam has deteriorated from a strapping fit and healthy lad with the world at his feet to a skeleton of a man restricted to a scooter. He has two young children and is financially crippled. Owing to government reforms and cutbacks Adam opted out of the pension and insurance scheme and is now left in financial ruin. It could happen to anyone of us at any time. I intend to rally a group of colleagues and atheletes to make some sacrifices and punish their body's to assist in raising money for Adam and to give his children a future. I appreciate the 100k is ambitious but if 1000 people donate £100 its achievable, if 10,000 people donate £10 it's achievable . Please help Adam who not too long ago was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for a stranger he had never met.
