Raising money for various disability specific items and equipment
“We wanted to mark Lewis’s 21st birthday and also undertake a challenge that really pushed us. We wanted to really earn that sponsorship money, because times are tough! This was a challenge that we could do as a group to hopefully raise awareness about Lewis’s charity and it was great that we could get our children involved. They found it much easier than us older ones!

We have received incredible support and generosity from so many people over the years, but we haven't been actively fundraising for Lewis for approx 3 years now.
Unfortuntely, we are always going to need disability specific items and equipment for him on an ongoing basis, it is a proven fact that it costs 3 times as much to bring up a disabled child and adult. The costs are just relentess and Lewis is going to need help with these costs on an ongoing basis throughout his life. Coupled with the cost of living and trying to keep a roof over Lewis' and the rest of our families head for as long as possible, things are extremely challenging and very stressful financially for us on an ongoing basis and causes us a lot of worry and anxiety. This is one extra thing that we have to worry about in an already extremely challenging and demanding daily life.
Lewis is now 21 (12th Nov 23), so if there is anyone who wishes to donate to his appeal for his 21st, then it would be extremely appreciated by our whole family.
Online donations can be made using GoFundMe..
