In 2019, Paul Stevens was diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis, a rare muscle wasting condition which is rapidly removing the use of his legs. There is now an urgent need to buy a wheelchair adapted vehicle (WAV) or he will be housebound and isolated from the things he loves.
Paul has a long history with cricket in the WCCL. He has kept wicket for many of our sides, as well as Wiltshire over 50s. When he retired from playing, he took up umpiring, and when umpiring became too physically demanding he turned to scoring. He has also been on the league committee for many years, including a significant stint as the Fixtures and Results Officer.
Sadly, Paul's ability to stay involved in cricket is now under threat. His illness is advancing and soon he won't be able to drive his car. Without a WAV Paul will lose his independence and his connection to the sport he loves. A fundraising effort has therefore been started, to buy a WAV for Paul. Donations can be made via Goodhub .
Let's keep Paul mobile and in the game. Thank you for your support.
The end-of-season pitch marks can now be downloaded.
