As a result of her paralysis, Jodie requires round the clock care. Since her diagnosis, Luke has given up his job as a contractor in order to look after her.The family are hoping the money raised will go towards physiotherapy costs, wheelchair adaptation's and access to spinal cord injury specialists which aren't currently funded by the NHS.
'Jodie's Journey' will consist of a 130-mile bike ride and two back-to-back marathons, covering the Manchester, Oswestry and Birmingham hospitals that have treated Jodie, before concluding at The Wrens Nest in Ketley on October 9, for a fundraising day.
