Hi I am Matt of Matt's Bootcamp and I have decided to put on this event 'SMASH IT for CHAZ' because I am priveledged to be in a postion to do so.
Charlie is a friend of mine and has inspired me with his will and determination to not let life get him down in spite of the difficulties he faces on a day to day and even an hour to hour basis. Here is what the Swindon Advertiser said about Charlie recently (edited)......

Charlie Dawson, from Moredon, has outgrown his wheelchair and wants to buy a new state-of-the-art model which is bigger, lighter and has off-road capabilities and powered steering.

This new wheelchair would stop him being restricted to the pavement when he goes outside and would ease the strain on his shoulders from pushing the chair manually - but it costs £10,500.

Charlie suffers from a very rare combination of muscular disorders: paroxysmol non-kinesogenic choreoathetosis and dystonia, which cause painful involuntary full-body spasms, and ataxia, which affects his speech, balance and co-ordination.

Charlie is one of five people with this rare condition in the world.

A neuro-stimulator was fitted inside his skull when he was younger to stop the spasms, which he used to have 80 times a day, then it was repaired last month.

Charlie, 22, said: "I was petrified, it was really hard."

His mum, Jackie, said: "Each time he went in for surgery, the risks were higher.

His dad Kevin explained how much the new wheelchair would benefit his son.

He said: "He can come over the fields when we walk the dog, he can go on the beach, it would enable him to do stuff that he wouldn't normally be able to do."

This event is one of a few events that have been organised to raise money for Charlie's wheelchair. Charlie himself is going to climb Pen-y-fan to raise funds.

Please give generously and lets SMASH IT for CHAZ and get Charlie this wheelchair!!!
