Champion A Chair
We are delighted to be able to provide wheelchairs to children going through treatment for cancer. We have been supported by a number of local businesses who have 'sponsored a chair'
If your business would like to be involved, please get in touch!
It became clear to us there is a high demand for kids wheelchairs for families going through cancer treatment.
Many children when battling such a hard fight can find it difficult to have the energy to walk short distance and can fatigue easily, many can lose the power of their legs after surgery. Can you imagine being able to walk today, but not tomorrow?
Many children have to wait many weeks, or even months for suitable wheelchairs.
This has resulted in children being carried by an adult or put into a pram that they are too big for and they know that they are too old for.
Families are normally sent in the direct to buy their own or rent their own. This is another financial burden for families already under pressure. We found it difficult to source chairs locally and have bought a small supply from Dublin. We have many of these out on loan.
Our aim Is to ensure that no child has to wait on a wheelchair!
