Georges powerchair dream
Donation protected
9 year old George has Becker Muscular Dystrophy which is a rare muscle wasting condition. He struggles to walk or run far and keep up with his friends. He can only be active for a short time before his legs go into spasm and cause pain. He uses a wheelchair for walking any distance and it goes to school with him.
Through the NHS George qualifies for a manual wheelchair currently but although he can wheel himself a short distance he heavily relies on someone pushing him majority of the time. His wheelchair is also only suitable for flat surfaces and can't go on sand, gravel, cobbles, mud etc. This really limits what George can do and places we can go as a family.
Georges dream wheelchair is a trekinetic power chair that is lightweight, all terrain and will be big enough to last him into adulthood. With this chair he would be able to drive himself to and from school, go to the park with friends, go on the beach and we would all be able to walk the dog as a family on any terrain.
This chair would really give George so much independance and open up a lot of activities that he just can't do at the moment.
