Event Description

Club will be assisting in this great cause for Yamina by guiding Zed on Wheels on his Challenge cycling from Marrakesh to Gibraltar.

Yamina is seven years old and suffers from severe global and developmental delay and hypotonia (muscle weakness) therefore is fully dependant on 24 hour adult assistance. This family has 3 other children aged 2, 6 & 9 and due to circumstances dad has had to give up his employment to become a stay at home dad as they cannot afford a carer for the child, hence mother (employed at GHA, sponsored patients department) is sole breadwinner.

Several modifications are being made to the family home e.g hoists implemented, bathroom facilities installed, as well as adjustments to cater for the disabled child and all her equipment. However, the family must purchase a Specially adapted vehicle with appropriate wheelchair access – estimated at £30k.

Grateful If you could spare a few pennies or pounds for this cycling adventure challenge for a worthy cause. All donations towards Yamina are greatly appreciated.

On behalf of my sister Maryam ( Yamina's ) mum she would like to thank Cedric, MarocAtlas and everyone involved in this worthy cause in aid of Yamina. An anonymous local person has kindly donated a vehicle adapted for her needs. ( God bless him and his family ) The money collected by zed on wheels will go towards the purchase of an adapted tricycle which we are looking into, or any extra equipment she will be needing in the future. Once again thank you all from the bottom of my heart especially the anonymous person who has made our lives easier. Gibraltar proves to be a good hearted an charitable community. God bless you all.xx
