Wheelchair for Jenny!

Why I need a new wheelchair?
Firstly hi, my name is Jenny, I'm 20 and I suffer from Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), Non-epileptic attack disorder (NEAD), and epileptic seizures.
In November 2014 I suffered a prolonged seizure which landed me in the intensive care unit in a medically induced coma; no one knew what to expect when I was brought out of it, but no one, not even the doctors and my consultant expected me to be paralyzed in both legs.
Since then I have been officially told that I will never walk again and will need a wheelchair for the rest of me life.
On top of this, I'm also having to live with having up to 23 seizures a week ( 20 absence seizures and three tonic clonic seizures) meaning I am unable to work therefore unable to completely fund a new wheelchair myself; I do currently have a wheelchair which was very kindly bought for me however it's only basic and while good for short trips, it does get quite uncomfortable, doesn't give me the independence I require, and one of the front wheels is currently broken!
The wheelchair that I'm fundraising for is called the Quickie Argon 2 active wheelchair, and I feel it is the best wheelchair for me due to how light and small it is!
This is where you come in! If everyone that views this can share it, even if they're unable to donate, it will allow more people to see my story and potentially donate, especially as every penny counts!
Thank you all so much for your time, and
Please donate and share this on all your
Social media sites and via emails too!!
