Help Bea get her dream TM wheelchair

Hi, my name is Charli and I have set this page up on behalf of my lovely friend Bea Wood.

Those of you who have had the pleasure of meeting our Bea will know that she is one of the most enthusiastic, caring, kind-hearted people you will meet on and off the Tough Mudder course.

Now Bea has a lush purple RGK chair she uses daily but while she has done 2 TM courses in it, it isn't designed to withstand the terrain, mud, wet and everything else an obstacle course throws at it, and equally it isn't suitable to appropriately support and aid Bea in her future adventures. And as she is using her day chair for races, she runs the risk of breaking it and therefore being unable to enjoy her current level of independence.

So she has been in contact with a wheelchair designer in America by the name of Mike Box, who has made chairs for countless athletes - some of note being Jesi Stracham (WTM adaptive athlete) and Arron Wheelz (Nitro Circus athlete).

Usually these chairs cost about $11,000 to build as they are fully customised to fit their owner, with all specifications included as required, however Mike is only asking for around half this ($5000) for the cost of materials to build Bea her dream TM/OCR chair. However this is currently beyond Bea's ability to afford and grants to help fund this have fallen through.

So this is our plea, from all of us on #TeamBea (with some minor loving coercion on Bea herself) to ask for any donation, no matter how small, to help get Bea able to do the sport she loves, which puts such a large smile on her face and lets her just be #SimplyBea

(Any donations raised beyond our target will be donated to Mike Box who makes the chairs at heavy cost to himself, to allow him to carry on spreading the love and joy her has brought so many people already)
