A Shropshire IT company is calling for people across the county
to support - or take part in - a charity walk at Weston Park this
month.
A sponsored walk for all the family - with or without dogs -
will take place on November 13 from 2pm at Weston Park to raise
money to buy an off-road wheelchair for Joanne Day.
Joanne, who suffers from the neurological disorder Dystonia,
would like to walk her assistance dog Kaiser in the countryside on
her doorstep - her reward to him for his devoted 24/7 care, help
and protection.
Chris Pallett, of Bespoke Computing, based on Stafford Park,
Telford, said: "Joanne needs a special wheelchair to be able to do
that for Kaiser and the walk will be raising money for that.
"One of our clients, Gill Hooker, will be taking part in the
walk and we are really pleased to be sponsoring her efforts. It is
a really worthy cause."
Dystonia causes muscle spasms and leaves Joanne's body contorted
and fixed into abnormal positions. Kaiser gives her the confidence
to leave the house and meet new people and helps with everyday
tasks, such as dressing and picking things up, that Joanne
otherwise finds difficult to perform.
'A Walk in the Park' starts at 2pm at the Granary Car Park at
Weston Park on the A5 at Weston Under Lizard and there are a number
of walk distances between one and five miles available.
For more details and registration contact Sue on 0776 600 5780
or email Kaiser@joandkaisercaninecapers.co.uk
Sponsorship forms are also available from Gill at the Bradford
Estate Office on the A5 at Weston-Under-Lizard.
