Samuel’s Relay Push 2023

22/11/2023

Fundraiser Alert - WE HAVE HIT OUR TARGET AND MORE!!

‘Samuel’s Relay Push’ has exceeded its target and raised a huge £16,193.

We could not have done this without the support of all the people who took part and the 266 family, friends and ‘unmet friends’ who donated. This was a real team effort and the sense of community and camaraderie was amazing. We are completely overwhelmed by your generosity and want to say a MASSIVE thank you.

We also want to say thank you to those people and businesses in our local community and along the route who supported our fundraiser, in particular The Lamb pub and The Stone Room who hosted and gave generously towards our celebration at the finishing line.

We are now in a position to order Samuel’s new wheelchair and fund his adapted vehicle (as well as donating £193.00 to Ingfield Friends) and will be forever grateful for your help. This is a day and experience that our family will never forget and we thank you for being part of it.

With much love and gratitude, The Pallants x

Thank you to everyone who has donated and been involved in today’s ‘Relay Push’. Samuel arrived at The Lamb pub bang on schedule to a wonderful welcome party. He didn’t stop talking for the whole 18-miles! Anabelle, his sister, walked 16 of those miles with him and we had the most amazing family and friends to get us there. Needless to say - we have had an amazing day. ###

FOLLOW SAMUEL’S PROGRESS ON HIS RELAY PUSH, SUNDAY 12TH NOVEMBER

Samuel is 15 years old and has Cerebral Palsy, relying on around-the-clock care. He cannot sit-up, so needs 24/7 postural support and hoisting for all transfers. Having a light-weight wheelchair, that meets Samuel’s postural needs, is invaluable to his care and is even more important now that he is getting so much bigger. Samuel is also waiting for a new van with wheelchair access and a dropped-floor, to accommodate his height, with sufficient space for his toileting chair and other equipment when we go away.

To raise funds towards these, Samuel is going to be pushed by 30+ volunteers for the 18-mile journey from Brighton Pier to The Lamb pub in Angmering.

Please donate to help Samuel reach his £16k target for his next wheelchair and adapted van. We are grateful for any contribution, however small!!
