Help Abby Walk Again - Superhero Triathlon
Donation protected
We are proud to announce that Abby will be taking part in the celebrity triathlon at the Superhero Series on August 17th 2024. Abby will be completing the 1km Push Out section of of the triathlon.
Please show your support by sponsoring Abby for this event that will be covered by channel 4 TV and help raise awareness of disability sport. All proceeds will go towards Abby's ongoing neuro rehab therapy at NeuroKinex Gatwick.
Background to the event:
Dedicated to the 14.1 million people across the UK living with disabilities, the Superhero Tri powered by Marvel is taking place on 17th August at Dorney Lake in Windsor. The Superhero Tri offers three distances to choose from, each with a variety of fun and flexible options. Participants can fly solo and take on all three stages—swim, cycle, and push/run—or share the fun in a team relay. For added support, Superheroes can recruit Sidekick teammates to tow, push, or pull them around the entire course.
Abby's Story....
In July 2021 the Clark family suffered a devastating car accident, resulting in the death of their son Oliver (aged 1) and the paralysis of their daughter, Abigail (aged 4 at the time, now aged 7).
Both Vincent and Lee were also severely injured, requiring intensive care treatment.
Since the accident, Vincent and Lee have been doing intensive rehabilitation to regain their movement and strength, and although it will take several years of treatment, they are both expected to make good recoveries, though both will have lifelong physical limitations. Lee now has several metal plates in both her ankles and an elbow.
Abigail has suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI) for which there is no treatment. She is currently paralysed and can neither move or feel from below her waist. She must also catheterize several times a day due to paralysis of the bladder.
NeuroKinex is a private intuition dedicated to the treatment of children with injuries such as Abby's. We do not receive any NHS or public funding for this.
Your donations will go towards:
- The cost of the intensive, full time weekly sessions at NeuroKinnex
- Accommodation close to the centre
- Transport to and from the centre
Any help that you can provide to the Clark family will be greatly appreciated.
