Hannah from Perry
Hannah is 5 yrs old and has cerebral palsy, she has problems with her balance and was
advised that a special trike would be of benefit to her development. Her mother asked if we
could help to finance a Terrier Tricycle which would give her the correct
support she needs and her independence. With the help of a grant of
£700 Hannah is now the proud owner of a new tricycle and in the picture is
watched over by her little sister Katy.
Update The trike has made a huge
positive impact on the life of Hannah and her family. Due to the added
exercise Hannah is now able to pull up to standing position and it is all
thanks to her new trike being so appropriate for her needs. |

Nikki from Ramsey
Nikki who suffers with Fibromyalgia, a condition that gives
chronic widespread pain and a heightened and painful response to pressure.
Her constant pain
has prevented her from getting a good nights sleep for a long time.
PMRT were asked to help by providing her with a new bed with a memory foam
mattress to help ease the pressure on her body and therefore reduce the
discomfort of lying down. Following medical advice the PMRT have
provided Nikki with a new bed at a cost of £750. We hope she will now
be able to sleep better which in turn will make her life more pleasant. |
