Dean Fundraiser Exo M4 morrello

We are raising funds to secure an exoskeleton rehabilitation robot that is available for use by members of the public who are living with a long term condition and who would benefit from using this equipment. Rehabilitation robots have been around for a while but they are very expensive and purchase and maintenance costs make it hard for people to afford to use them. Dean is now retired. He enjoyed walking, cycling and had always been very active in the garden and doing DIY projects around the house. In October 2022 he had an operation as his spinal cord had herniated and had fused itself to the spine. The operation itself was successful but unfortunately during the operation he had a bleed on the spinal cord which caused paralysis and, as a consequence, he ended up a wheelchair user. Using the exoskeleton enabled Dean to move his body which he hadn’t been able to do since the operation. Having access to the exoskeleton would mean a lot to Dean and others. Dean says, ‘Looking in the mirror, it’s really good, it’s nice to see my legs actually moving. It just looks and feels like me walking! I spent nearly all my life walking. This brings the memories back of me walking and gives me more enthusiasm for carrying on. It’s just so good for your body.’ PLEASE VISIT THE WEBSITE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT AND TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN HELP US RAISE FUNDS https://www.morrello.co.uk/ PLEASE VISIT OUR LOCAL GIVING PAGE TO MAKE A DONATION https://localgiving.org/fundraising/exomot...
