Luke Lawes, 28, found out he had motor neurone disease in 2021
A man given a devastating diagnosis has spoken of his heartbreak over no longer being able to take his beloved dog for a walk.
The lightweight three-wheel wheelchair would give Luke, from Frodsham, Cheshire, back some of his freedom and independence lost after he was diagnosed with the condition. But as it comes at a cost of around £11,000, Luke's family have launched a fundraiser in an attempt to raise enough to buy the off-road chair.
Luke's family have therefore organised a GoFundMe to try to raise the cash needed for the lightweight off-road wheelchair. And Jen has pledged to walk the Three Peaks challenge in return for any donations to help them reach their fundraising target. His sister Jen said the off-road wheelchair would make a huge difference to Luke's quality of life, enabling him to continue to get outdoors.
"He's one of those people who could learn a sport in the morning and be comparatively better than average at it by the afternoon. Getting the off-road wheelchair would make such a difference. It can go on any terrain."
