Emily
Emily got transverse myelitis when she was 16 months old. She was parolised from the neck down.
She has had a fantastic recovery so far but still has weakness in her limbs, and is unsafe to ride a normal bike.
PhysCap helped us to get a bike, which helps her to build strength and allows her to safely ride a bike with her brothers and sisters.
Oscar
We are so grateful to Physcap for the support they have given us and our son Oscar. Oscar has severe cerebral palsy and has no independent mobility.
Thanks to PhysCap’s generosity we were able to get him a custom-made, state-of-the-art wheelchair.
The chair gives him a level of independence that would have been impossible from the NHS supplied chairs. It allows him to interact with his peers and his surroundings in a way that he never has before. Having something so cool has made him the envy of his able bodied friends and meant his confidence has grown and grown.
Without the help of groups such as PhysCap, young people like Oscar would find their life chances and experiences limited and we cannot thank them enough.
