9 years ago I had a stroke which left me paralised on the left side. I didn't give up. With the help of my Physiotherapist and a strict exercise regime, I managed to get on my feet again. I am still getting very tired when I am doing too much.

I walked 1.4 miles for GAMS last year and will target 2.8 miles this year. This will be a real challenge for me.

GAMS provided me with some aids in the beginning. I joined the Fall Prevention Class and Cross Generation Events for a while and still attend outings. The photo was taken at last year's Pre-Christmas outing.

As a small charity they need the funds from the GWC to continue their good work. Please note that they are completely run by volunteers. Every penny you give goes directly towards the seniors. Thank you.
