Gill Sandgrove shaving her head to raise money for my electric wheelchair.
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, severe gut dysmotility and anaemia amongst other things and am tube fed via a PEG.
We are raising money to buy an electric wheelchair for me that will give me back some much needed independence and will allow me to go out more as I will be able to recline and raise my legs when my body can no longer cope with being upright, which is after about an hour and a half to two hours (which understandably limits me enormously in what I can do). If we are lucky enough to raise any extra money it would pay for the household adaptations to accommodate the wheelchair and/or the down payment for a wheelchair accessible motability vehicle.
