Lorraine Venables is raising money for The Brain Charity

Wheels of Wonder (WoW) with Scott Whitney · 1 January 2022

Story

I am raising money for the Brain Charity, inspired by the incredible Scott Witney (you can find his campaign page here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/wheelsofwonder) 

In 2020, Scott went to hospital to treat his back pain.  Soon, he had lost the use of his legs, his ability to swallow and speak and was in chronic pain. 

Scott is still undiagnosed and has endured numerous unexplainable symptoms. His world has been turned upside down, yet he remains an inspiration to his two small daughters and his indomitable spirit has everyone who has followed his story. 

In January 2022, Scott will be attempting the equivalent of 3 marathons in his wheelchair and 6 marathons on an arm exercise bike to raise money for The Brain Charity. 

The Brain Charity offers emotional support, practical help and social activities to anyone with a neurological condition and to their family, friends and carers. 

I felt compelled to support Scott in his challenge, so I will be completing 3 marathons during the month of January: 1 marathon on wheels (bike and roller skates) and 2 marathons on foot (running and walking). 

If you'd like to join us for your own Wheels of Wonder challenge, we'd love to have you on the team! 

This is an essential service that helps many people, like Scott and his family, when they need it most. Thanks for taking the time to read this and donate.
