Story

Hi there, welcome to my fundraising page… make yourself at home :-)

Nancy is a funny determined spirited 10 year old girl who has set a challenge of going out 26 days in a row on a running bike we have on loan to raise money for Cash for kids so she can help other kids.

Nancy received funding for a powered wheelchair and part of a bathroom adaptation from Cash for Kids which have been life changing for her.

Nancy has a neurological movement disorder Dystonia. There is no cure and it is degenerative and we do not know what the future holds. Nancy's ability to walk has decreased and she can not walk a distance at all. She has lost the little ability she once had to speak and has undergone 2 brain surgeries. She now has a neuro transmitter in her tummy wired to rodes in her brain which will help to slow her condition and it has helped her movements too. She is one brave determined young girl who know her own mind. The power wheelchair that cash for kids funded has been a game changer for her and allowed Nancy to keep up with her friends her big brother Archie and Wee sister Murin. It has given her freedom and her independence and she can go where she wants when she wants and doesn't need to rely on others to push her anymore in a manual chair.

Nancy can't go a normal bike and it's really difficult for her to pedal an adapted bike too. We have a running bike on loan to use during Lockdown.
We are not measuring distance but instead days out on the bike which will be a big challenge for Nancy. She started on 5th May and will finish on 30th May.
If you can spare a few pounds that would be amazing.
Thank you all so much.
Nancy has a facebook page Nancys Garden if you want to find out more.


Have a look below; you can see updates about my fundraising, how it’s all going and hopefully some messages from other sponsors too.

I’m raising money to support Radio Forth Cash for Kids in Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife so they can make a real difference to the lives of local children and young people.

Everything raised in our area stays in our area, with a focus on alleviating poverty, supporting disability and improving quality of life. Any amount you care to give is very much appreciated. After you sponsor me, it would be great if you could leave me a photo or video support message too!

Thank you sooo much to everyone for donating. Its been overwhelming. Nancy smashed her £200 target in a few hours. So we have increased it to £1,000 a bit cheeky but imagine if she could hit that and how many kids it could help just now. So let's see how far we can get. Keep sharing. Your all super heroes for helping Nancy get there xxx
