Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for John in Nottingham
John needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,750.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Nottingham Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,750.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $3,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $155
• First-year servicing plan: $245
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Nottingham
you're not alone, John. Hope this works out for you.
Best of luck, John. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Mumbai.
