Hi, my name is Jess, I am a Stage and Production Manager working within Theatre and Live Events, which both are huge huge passions of mine. As some of you know I was diagnosed with a inoperable tumour in my pelvis back in 2020, over the last 5 years I have undergone treatment to try and shrink the tumour and we’ve unfortunately recently found out it’s growing and I have new tumours growing in my shoulder too

Due to this my mobility is reducing and I have been using a manual wheelchair when needed which is heavy and unable to use comfortably alone. Although i currently don’t use the chair everyday I am needing to use it on occasion and I have been told this will continue.

I have been referred to wheelchair services on the NHS and I have been told the wait list is over 2 years - and often the chair they provide are not suitable for the patient; and are often bulky and heavy.

So I have started to look at going privately to see the options I have; as well as contacting different services. Who are quoting between £7.5 and £10k for a specialist chair that is made to measure.

i have decided to set up this page to start the process of fundraising for this specalist chair. Although I don’t need this straight away I am trying to ensure that if the time comes I have the ability to use this page to help with this!

Please note - no funds will be taken out of this page until the time comes.
