Ringo is a determined and independent young person who lives with ME, POTS, Spondyloarthritis and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Like many people with these conditions, day-to-day mobility can be unpredictable, exhausting and sometimes impossible. The wheelchair she currently has is not suitable for her conditions and is actively making things worse; causing increased pain, putting strain on her spine, and requiring her to over-exert for normal daily tasks. A more suitable wheelchair would make a huge difference in helping her conserve energy, stay involved in the things she enjoys, and maintain her independence.

This isn’t about limitation—it’s about freedom. Being able to go out, see friends, host her quizzes and take part in life without the constant physical toll.

We’re setting up this page simply to create an opportunity for those who would like to contribute towards that independence. There is absolutely no expectation- just appreciation for any support, in any form.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

Tim (on behalf of Ringo)
