Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Some of my friends and family will remember the very lucky day I had back in December 2015. I had been horse riding with my children, jumping, then I fell off. I landed on my chin and performed a perfect outward facing, forward roll, which resulted in a broken neck and  two bulged discs against my spinal cord. I remember vividly Eli shouting “Mummy, mummy are you dead..?”. For a long time, I was unable to move my arms due to weakness and experienced constant pins and needles into my hands. 

I was incredibly lucky that day and, fast forward to now, my symptoms have mostly resolved and my strength has returned. I can live a normal life….. I can feed myself, I can brush my hair and I can hug my girls. Unfortunately, some people are not that lucky. Spinal cord injuries can occur so easily and do so frequently.  Injuries do not always resolve which is why the work that Aspire does to support people with work and living is so important.

Now is my time to be able to help Aspire by fundraising  so that they can continue to help those people who can not manage on their own.  I hope that you will help me by giving to them, so that we can help make daily tasks more manageable for those who have not been as lucky as I have.
