The Cause
Just over a year ago, Catrin was a healthy, active 18-year-old who had completed her A-levels and was looking forward to a bright future. She was enjoying a gap year working in a primary school and preparing to start university.
Then, in a matter of days, everything changed.
After contracting meningitis, which triggered autoimmune encephalitis, Catrin's life became unrecognisable. The independence and opportunities she had worked so hard for were suddenly replaced by an uncertain future with a long and challenging journey of recovery. She is currently unable to walk independently and is working tirelessly with her physiotherapists to regain as much mobility and independence as possible.
Despite everything she has faced, Catrin continues to show remarkable courage, resilience and determination, supported every step of the way by her incredible family and friends. A lightweight wheelchair, would be life-changing, providing greater freedom, independence and the opportunity to participate more fully in everyday life. Any additional funds would be used to buy much needed equipment to further support her journey.
All funds raised through this prize draw will go directly to Catrin and her family to help fund this essential equipment. Every ticket purchased is more than just a chance to win a prize. It is a way of showing our love and support for a much-loved family during an incredibly difficult time and helping a remarkable young woman move one step closer to the independence and future she deserves.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity and support. Together, we can make a real difference.
