Music fundraiser for Peterborough woman in desperate need of new wheelchair

Jade Malone (23) has outgrown her current wheelchair which she relies on as she is unable to walk due to her condition.

The fashion and design student from Millfield is preparing to go to university this year and has her eyes set on a Küschall K-Series chair; however, the cost of the standard base is £2,085 alone. That is before the individual parts to make the chair are added on.

The money, though, would be life-changing for the former Jack Hunt School pupil as it is extremely comfortable and would help her live independently.

The Eclectic Ballroom presents Locality Takeover club night to help raise money for the new wheelchair was due to be held late last year but is now being held on Friday, February 14 from 9pm at Charters on Town Bridge.

Donations will be collected on the night.

Anna-Marie wanted to thank everyone involved in putting on the event, many of whom are giving up their time for free. The event page can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/events/706295776506470/. To donate towards the wheelchair, visit: www.gofundme.com/f/r6tej-wheelchair.
