Imagine you lost the use of your leg and arm over night? How would you cope?
This is what happened to me when I had a brain haemorrhage 16 months
ago. Initially my entire left side was paralysed leaving me in need of
24/7 care but I have since been battling my way back to independent
living. Still partly paralysed, I am desperate to regain the use of my
left arm, an effort not funded by the NHS.
Michaela Muller and I have entered the British Indoor Rowing
Championships in Nottingham on March 25th to raise funds for a device
(Bioness H200) that can help me with moving my arm again.

"This is a huge challenge for both women", says Ali Seal from Seal
Personal Training who supports their training efforts, not least because
they are both rowing novices.
All moneys raised will go towards the cost of the device and any
additional funds raised will be donated to buy physiotherapy equipment
for use by the Royal Leamington Spa Rehabilitation Hospital where I
spent 3 months in recovery last year and to the charity Different
Strokes.
The past 16 months have been quite a journey and I thank each and every
one of you who has sent me messages of support and encouragement, every
single one has been so very much appreciated. Michaela and I will post
details of our targets and our progress over the next few weeks and you
will also be able to follow our weekly blog nearer the event date. With
thanks and appreciation.
