Story

I am raising funds so that I can purchase a Panthera U3 Lightweight Active wheelchair that will give me true independence, less pain, and a more active life. I have Cerebral Palsy, and have lived in Kendal, Cumbria all my life. I have been using wheelchairs supplied by the NHS, but these no longer meet my needs.

Anything raised above our target will be donated to Tourism for All, the charity that I have worked for for 11 years, which helps disabled people to access holidays and travel. These funds will be used to redevelop the Tourism for All website, so that we can reach and help many more people, enabling everybody to have holidays, trips, and memories that last a lifetime. 

Tourism for All are very kindly processing all donations on my behalf, which means that we can access match funding.  Any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated and used solely for this fundraising.

This wheelchair gives me the best posture, and is so easy for me to push.  I can add a large front wheel for all terrain and proper dog walks, and a power pack to make it electric, meaning that for the first time, I will be able travel for work and holidays with true independence.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
