PHASE TWO – HELP BRADLEY AND RICHARD TO MOVE AROUND HASSLE AND PAIN FREE

Bradley and Richard were both born with a type of muscular dystrophy that affects their skeletal muscles, as well as facial muscles. Muscular dystrophy is a process whereby your muscles waste away every second of the day. When Bradley and Richard both started to walk we noticed that they both fell a lot. It was not until Bradley was 11 years old that eventually after seeking advice from many neurologists and neurosurgeons that Bradley was eventually diagnosed with FSHD (FacioScapuloHumeral Muscular Dystrophy). https://www.musculardystrophyuk.org/about-muscle-w...The neurologist at the time said that Richard (9 years old) has the same diagnosis. Bradley is now 31 and Richard is 29.

At the age of 25 Bradley went into a wheelchair and was still able to walk short distances around the house as well as bath himself. He could not shower as he could not stand long without his legs folding underneath him. Going into a wheelchair and his muscles wasting away Bradley became a dead weight. At age 29 Bradley could no longer walk and is totally dependant on external medical equipment and the help of carers. My husband and myself have for many years been the only carers in our sons lives but as of 2 years ago had to employ a day carer and a night carer to help us with Bradley.

At age 29 Richard is still able to walk short distances and requires a wheelchair for long distances. Richard has 2 Honours Degrees in Finance and fortunately is still able to maintain a full-time job.

Our sons are young adults trapped in an old man's body.......please help us by donating towards helping us acquire the equipment that would help transport our sons with as little pain as possible as well as helping our carers not injuring themselves performing their duties.

PHASE TWO

We are extremely grateful to ALL WHO HAVE DONATED which allowed us to import the Turny-Evo and have it installed by SHOPRIDER (Pretoria).

We now are looking to import the base of the Carony-Go wheelchair, see quote & photo for base only. This will allow Bradley to use the Carony-Go wheelchair and Turney-Evo as it is designed to be used.

Now we require a second Turny-Evo only for Richard as he will be able to use Bradley's big wheelchair, seen in the video.

As parents, we will be blessed by any and all new donations to complete our mission for our boys.
