Hi All,

I am looking for some information about loans / grants and how to go about getting them please. I now need a ‘3 wheeler bike’ or ‘tricycle’ for adults as the MS is now effecting my balance, fatigue etc ☹

I don’t like the idea of having to use one now but I guess it might be a way that I can continue to cycle with family. So ‘swings and roundabouts’ I guess innit.

I wonder if any of you have had a grant/ loan via the MS society and so on; to cover the costs of buying one of these bikes please? I have been looking for one and they are all in the hundreds, especially if you have an electric tricycle. So way out of my budget atm ☹

All replies much appreciated,

Regards

Anna x
