"Well done! I'm sorry to read about your syndromes. I have fibro too so I get how debilitating it is and even walking DOWN stairs takes its toll," one sympathised, while another added: "Oh well done, that is great news, after such a long time. Gives other people hope as well."

A third wrote: "That feeling when you’re just so tired but you make the huge effort and it’s so wonderful and worth it."

"Since I bought my wheelchair from Distribe just over a year ago, the world has really opened up for me so drastically and so much more than I'd even thought possible before buying.

"I've been able to go out, make memories, and have adventures, even on some of my worse health days. So much of that comes from how confident I feel in the quality of my chair, knowing that it's not going to give up on me and leave me stranded!"
