Readers may recall Neil Lea who used to be based in Manchester campaigning initially for the local Friends of the Earth group before switching his attention to campaigning full time for the cause closest to his heart: animal rights. He is a tireless campaigner who has worked unpaid for animal rights for over twenty years. He currently produces "ARC News", and runs several grassroots vegan campaigns and was a key organiser of the recent NW Vegan Festival held in Manchester.
During his many years as a dedicated campaigner Neil has suffered serious health issues and is now reliant on a wheelchair and in continuous pain. He is awaiting an operation that will hopefully put an end to the pain but that is likely to leave him entirely paralysed below the waist. Neil's current wheelchair is an NHS edition that is heavy and awkward (and a wheel keeps coming off too!), so his friends are raising £2,500 for a lighter and more user friendly model. They understand that the people they are asking for support are people who already spend their time and money fighting for the animals or other good causes, but are asking you to consider this as an investment for the animals. With Neil out there and on the move, the movement just got that bit stronger.
