I want to thank Shrapnel, without them I think that my life would be very different. It took a long time for me to realise that starting to use a chair was not a step backwards, but that it would help me to do more of the things that I wanted to do.
Because of my injuries, I am very limited as to how far I can walk, so having a chair to get around has made made a huge difference in how far I can go
and how much I can get done before I am stopped by pain and fatigue. Before of Shrapnel I wasn't able to source the wheelchair that best fitterd my needs, which was well out of reach financially. Now that I have my chair I am able to go to more traning sessions and compete in more archery competitions than would have been possible without Shrapnel's assistance.

Do you know someone that has a similar story and might need help? Tell them about Shrapnel.
I am Daniel Bingley.
After being injured I turned to sport and basketball was one of the sports I tried and fell in love with but I could not afford a chair to play.
I went to a great charity, Shrapnel, and with their help I got my chair and from then I have learned to live again and I have been selected for the 2018 Invictus Games.
Thank you so much to the charity for helping me on my journey.
I recently received a significant level of assistance from shrapnel. My level of independence has been increased beyond expectations. I also appreciate the level of compassion and discretion awarded to me during the brief application process. Thank you to you all.
