100 Miles across the South Downs...

To celebrate our 5th Birthday, this coming July, Enable Me Patron Swasie Turner MBE & our Project Manager Nik Demetriades are going to walk the South Downs Way, or should we say wheelchair push the whole 100 miles, a feat which has NOT been done before! 

Along the way we hope to meet up with school children and members of the public who we hope will support us in our quest.

The Push is being undertaken to raise awareness and to raise funds for Enable Me and we welcome you to sponsor us and to come and join us for part of the way, or just cheer us on at one of the many stopping points. 

To find out more about how you and your school can get involved, please see below!

If you would like to sponsor us, please use the Just Giving donation button in the side-bar. Thank you for your support!

Please email or call the office (01903 734400/office@enablemeproject.org.uk) if you would like to order some of the A5 flyers or A4 posters to help advertise the Push. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all at Hayes International Design (http://www.hayes.uk.com) for the brilliant work in designing the artwork!

SWASIE TURNER MBE

His fund raising ‘missions’ as a ‘Wheelchair Pilot’

Since the traumatic loss of both his police career and his right leg due to an act of violence in the line of duty, which has left him confined to a wheelchair, Swasie then suffered the inconsolable loss of his beloved wife and childhood sweetheart Marjorie to the scourge of Cancer.

Totally devastated by the death of his beloved wife and lifelong sweetheart, Swasie then decided to raise money to fight this indiscriminate killer amongst us. He became a relentless, dedicated and totally obsessive crusader for this cause. Right from the start, against medical advice, he performed unbelievable feats of strength and stamina with his caster’d, standard issue NHS Lomax wheelchair.
