Testimonials

Online support group member testimonial image

“I am so lucky to have met such wonderful and positive people with a can-do attitude, it really feels bliss to have people around me going through a similar journey. Everyone in the group is willing to share their experience and knowledge.

It gives you so much positive energy and increases your determination to keep going and focusing on goals.”

“CES literally turned my world upside down. I was no longer the run around spin addict, instead I became the wheelchair loner.

I lost my friends and my social life and spent a year living away from my children. If it wasn’t for the support group I wouldn’t be here.”

“This was fantastic!

It opened our eyes about the importance of a low threshold of suspicion and how tests like MRI  must be performed urgently.

Really valued this lecture. So important to hear the patient’s perspective.

Very memorable”

Lecturer

“Many thanks for your session yesterday, the students and I found it extremely beneficial and very moving.

The students have asked if you can send some posters and leaflets as they are very keen to spread the word.

After you left the discussion resumed on the next session with some students saying how powerful they had found the poem and how the session had been so thought provoking”

Doctor

“Very helpful session and so glad we were able to hear more about this serious condition. It has definitely changed the way I will approach back pain as a presentation.

I and the other students are grateful the patients invited were happy to share their story and shed light on others”

“The Champions Charity CES online support group has helped me no end.

I left hospital after my emergency operation, with no aftercare and not really knowing what to expect. Having this group has helped me when I’ve had extremely down days and when I have questions about anything.

I would have been lost without the support I have had and will be forever thankful.”
