Donations to our Club Charity - Bedford MS Therapy Centre

Our Club Charity for 2025/26 is the Bedford MS Therapy Centre.  You can find more details about them here.  You can use this form to make donations to the Club Charity; we will pass the full amount of the donation across to the MS Therapy Centre (ie the Club will meet the payment charges).

Your donation will be put towards purchasing a new tilt table.  According to MS Focus magazine:

"Standing is something most of us take for granted, until we are unable to stand because of pain, illness, or physical impairment. No matter where you are in terms of functional capacity, intermittent periods of standing will help you to feel and look better. 

Standing improves psychological well-being and muscle tone.  It aids in digestion, bladder and bowel function.  It promotes blood circulation and helps to heal or prevent bedsores.  Standing also improves renal function and lowers the risk of osteoporosis.  So take a stand for your health with a little help from a standing aid."

The MS Therapy Centre currently has one standing frame, and it is currently fully booked throughout the week.  Our members who are unable to stand unaided can be transferred to the table, and tilted to around 60-70 degrees with straps holding them securely.  They will then be able to gain the benefits listed above.  An extra tilt table will enable us to offer this to more people and may give longer standing periods to those able to tolerate it.

Thank you to all the Bedford Harriers taking part in raising funds for this brilliant piece of equipment.
