I would like to thank Peninsula members for this sensational surprise. It could not have happened at a better time as I was struggling and this will give me a new lease of life.

The new electric wheelchair gives me my independence back and allows me to get to bridge under my own steam on the tough days. Maybe even play some night games

It will give some respite to Marieta and John, my bridge chauffeurs, who can attest I am not smiling all the time.

After buying the chair there was some money left which I will put toward air conditioning and mobility aids for my home. My circumstances have changed recently and I may have to move so I am holding off until that is finalised.

Thanks particularly to Peter Clarke and then Nerida Gillies who ran with the idea.

Again thank you to you all - you have improved my life immensely.
