Timberwise supporting Arthritis Research

September 7, 2010

We are delighted to have  sponsored one of our clients, Stuart Prescott - Chartered Building Surveyor at Cube Property Surveyors, to raise money for his daughter who is suffering from Juvenile Arthritis.  Stuart undertook the National 3 peak challenge on the 3rd & 4th July this year to raise money for Arthritis Research UK (ARC) with twelve other Dad’s from his daughters school.

DSC02170Stuart explains – “The challenge started at Ben Nevis on a rain and mist Saturday evening, followed by an early morning brisk walk up a very cold Scafell Pike and finally a walk up a blustery Snowdon to finish us off – all in 24 hours. Someone said this was “just a walk in the park”! – in total the climb is 3679m which equates to 1362 flights of stairs!”

Stuarts daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis  at the age of 2. The disease affects her knees, hips, shoulders, her right elbow and ankle and her jaw and even leaves her vision blurred. She has gone through various stages of treatment and currently receives Anti TNF drugs, intravenously, for two and a half hours every four weeks. She also attends regular check ups and physiotherapy at the Countess of Chester hospital and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool. The drugs are researched and designed by Arthritis Research UK and have been a success in managing the Arthritis (not a cure). ARC is not  government funded and it is down to sponsorship to continue on their research. Stuarts aim was to seek a challenge and raise money in the process for ARC.

Timberwise are proud to assist them achieve their goal of raising money for ARC and there current total has reached £10,000 which has exceeded expectations. Further donations or information can be obtained on the web link http://original.justgiving.com/frodshamdads-n3p.
