We at John Preston are delighted with our recent JOSI-Wismi Rehab Buggy handover in Drumlish Co Longford. Francis our Mobility sales advisor had the pleasure of meeting the proud owner and his family at his school today for the handover. The owner suffers from Ataxia a genetic and progressive disorder of the central nervous system. This condition affects the patients’ movements and creates difficulties with speech, eye movement and swallowing.

The owner and his family purchased the Wismi buggy as they take part in a lot of charity running. They do this in a bid to raise more awareness on their sons condition. The charity that the family is heavily involved in is called the The Ataxia Foundation Ireland, it is privately funded and totally dependent on fundraising and donations.
