Brave friend conquers death-defying wingwalk
The caring friend of a patient at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham completed a daring wingwalk to buy special equipment for patients on the neurosurgical wards at the hospital.
Nicci, friend of patient Liam Carbery, took part in a wing-walk on 13 August in aid of QEHB Charity. Liam has a condition called dystonia, which causes a range of symptoms including spasms and contractions.
Nicci said: “I decided to raise money for QEHB Charity’s neurosurgical fund to help staff find better ways of treating patients with this condition, and others like it.
“I also wanted to raise money to help buy specialist equipment for patients on the neurosurgical wards at the hospital, including a bladder scanner and rehabilitation games.”
Justine Davy, Head of Fundraising at QEHB Charity, said: “We’re really grateful to Nicci for deciding to raise money for QEHB Charity, and we would like to commend her for her extreme bravery in choosing the wing-walk as her challenge!”
