JANUARY 2021 - what year 2020 has been for us all.. hope everyone is keeping safe and well On a “chair” note unfortunately the Triride has been returned!!! It never lived up to the promises and was away more than here, so with help from my care manager we managed to return it faulty and got a partial refund So to cut a very long story short I’m back to my original plan of a power chair So unfortunately I’m lacking funds again as a lot more expensive I’ve applied for another grant so fingers crossed.. I’ll attach a photo of “Gizmo” my new chair which hopefully I’ll get in the next few months.. I have to spend the original grant money by beginning of March Keep safe everyone and hopefully we can get back to some sort of normal soon Well after returning her for a bit as didn’t seem right, she’s home again but unfortunately I need to get a spare battery which is £1050!!!! As didn’t get double when I bought her and range is a bit limited.. WELL SHES ARRIVED!!!!! Collected on mon.. mountain bike wheels and spare battery last thing I need now..

Please help me spread the word if you can..

WOW what a Week!!
Had a Demo from Da Vinci mobility on a different type of all terrain chair, it worked out very well and a lot less expensive so more obtainable with your help -


Hello I am a 48 year old single lady living on the Isle of Wight , And owned by a lovely 7yr old springer spaniel called Zach!! ......


Basically my story is as follows :- I contracted meningitis in 2003 and went on to have 5 further major attacks in 10yrs which has now left me with a lot of medical issue and forced me to medically retire in 2014.......

My main issues being my mobility, severe motion sickness, and as a result I now have Addison’s disease, a damaged spine due to many incorrect lumbar punctures,( Which I have had in excess of 10) and most caused more damage as it was done incorrectly as my spine curves. ( I have no recollection of the last severe attack in 2010) .......

I also now suffer from constant DVT’s and I am also asthmatic and diabetic

My condition is known as MOLLARETTS MENINGITIS which is basically recurrent Meningitis, the virus was dormant for awhile but I had another minor attack in March 2018 and April 2019........

I currently use a Quickie Salsa M2 power chair which is excellent day-day but unfortunately it doesn’t like uneven surfaces like sand/grass/ stones/mud etc so I am very restricted where I can and can’t go.....

I am a real outdoorsy type person and am really struggling not being able to go where I want to when I want.....

In 2004 I climbed Mount Snowdon to the very summit with my sister Alana and my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Silas and now in 2019 I’m reliant on a wheelchair as I can’t walk or stand for more than a minute or two
and I have now been unable to work since 2014 due to Organic Brain Damage and serious memory issues and blackouts so funds are not readily available. I have had to give up driving as well due to the memory issues and blackouts so feeling very isolated.......

I have looked into an all terrain power chair but unfortunately they start from £13000 and then climb steeply up from that so have decided a combination of a manual chair and a power bike will work better for me and more transportable for visiting people and start from around £8000

I worked in London as a professional nanny, hospital play specialist and nursery nurse for over 20yrs and then a special needs support worker on the Isle of Wight until I was forced to medically retire in 2014...

I would love to be able to go to the beach again and play with zach and dangle my feet in the surf.. I am hoping to do a few fundraising events like bingo and a quiz show but my personal involvement will be limited in anything physical due to health issues, I am also always On the lookout for alternative funding available

I live on the Isle of Wight so lots and lots of sand and lovely county walks around and I’m now not able to do all the outings I would love to do due to access..I’m happy to answer any questions and promote any businesses that donate or sponsor me, and thank you in advance for reading my post....
