Greater freedom and independence
/ November 2026Funding was awarded to Daisy back in July. Daisy has a diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos syndrome, which includes autoimmune hepatitis, adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism and migraines. The grant contributed to the purchase of a pair of Alber e-motion M25 wheels to enable her to have greater freedom and independence with reduced symptoms.
In her feedback to us Daisy said;
"Although I’ve only had the power-assisted wheels for a few weeks, they have already had a
profound impact on my daily life. I am able to attend my weekly dance class (a class I adapt
to do in my wheelchair) independently as the wheels help me to go up inclines and down
declines with reduced effort. This helps me to conserve my energy and reduces my pain,
meaning that I can fully enjoy and engage in my dance class which has been great for my
mental health and allowing me to socialise. The wheels also allow me to go out for longer
and take part in things that I wouldn’t have been able to previously. I am really enjoying the independence that these wheels have given me as I don’t have to rely on help from others. I can’t wait to see what other adventures I can access!"
We are very pleased that our funding contribution has helped to make a real difference to Daisy's independence.
