On Wednesday 28th. September Lion President Mike Hardy and John Kirk, Social Services Convenor of Skegness Round Table, visited Mark Perry and his family to present them with a cheque!
Mark suffers from Duchennes Muscular Distrophy, which means he is confined to a wheelchair and needs help to do almost everything.Duchennes is a progressive illness but Mark is determined to do as much as he can for his future, attending Boston College at the present time.
He needs a number o...f items of equipment to make him more independent and to lead a more normal life, but his family were unable to secure all of the necessary funding and were £1100 short.
An appeal to Round Table resulted in the club getting together with Skegness Lions Club and between them the two Clubs made good the shortfall by each contributing equal amounts.
A wonderful example of "match-funding" locally.
