Lauren has Cerebral Palsy.
“I rely on my second skin body suit, to support my spine. This suit is vital in my day to day life and without it I would not be able to walk, type, or generally function to my potential.” Two years ago, access to funding for that suit was about to be removed.
Stand For stepped in to help Lauren challenge the decision, and to build her case.
“With STAND FOR’s support, we ‘persuaded’ the relevant authorities that they were being unreasonable. Even though I know that STAND FOR would have bought me a new body suit, it was so much more rewarding to resolve the issue myself.”
“Without STAND FOR none of this would have been possible. I feel like the luckiest person in the world!”
