Help Ben achieve a better quality of Life ,maybe gain some more movement or even talk .

Nationwide

Hi, my name is Ben Macdonald.

Six years ago I was a fit healthy 21yr old with a wonderful life and bright future.That was until I was hit head on by a car overtaking a truck.

I was left with a Severe Brain injury, in a wheelchair, unable to speak and very little movement and needing 24hr care. I work hard everyday,stretchers, speech therapy and standing in a standing frame. All therapy is painful and tiring, but necessary to maintain what movement I have gained.

We are seeking support for medical treatment being done in America which may help me gain more independence and quality of life. While there are no guarantees, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We will be giving updates with all the progress we are hoping to make.

Thank you From my family, friends and myself.
