My wife has always been a proud women and really tries to just get on with things without any fuss. She has had to pick herself up and dust herself off and start again a number of times now since her early 20's. She has complicated medical problems which led to her having to leave her nursing career behind as the demands of the work just werent compatible with her faulty Autonomic nervous system and wobbly joints due to a condition affecting her connective tissues. After a few years of being in and out of hospital and after multiple failed surgeries and proceedures she worked really hard to establish a business and career that she loves! Sadly her ability to do what she loves is now under threat again. At the end of 2019 a mass was discovered on her ovary. At the beginning of this year she had a 5 hours complicated surgery resulting in her losing a massive amount of blood and with problems with her bladder and bowel and with constant pain. At somepoint during the surgery the position she was in also affected her neck and shoulder and she is now also under the care of a neurosurgeon.

She desperately wants to get back to doing what she loves but in order for this to happen there is equipment she needs. The NHS wheelchair service cant provide a wheelchair that can cope with the demands of our training areas or is suitable for use outside in our training field, she has had assessments from occupational therapy and has tried a number of demo chairs and found one that copes with the gravel path to the field and the terrain of the field itself. Unfortunately as with all mobility equipment it is expensive and although we have funding there is a shortfall of around £3300 and so we are left trying everything possible to raise this ourselves in a very short amount of time (within the next 3/4 weeks).

We hate asking for help but she has already been through so much and we just want to try and enable her to do what she loves. Every little will make a difference.
