Friend of patient to tackle daring wing-walk
The caring friend of a patient at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham is raising money to buy special equipment to support patients on the neurosurgical wards at the hospital.
Nicci, friend of patient Liam Carbery, is taking 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 want 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! Good luck, and thank you!”
