Surf therapy and access along our stunning coastline should be available to everyone, and we feel very privileged to be able to offer this."

Ian is a charge nurse in a hospital A & E. Prior to that he was a paramedic. Sarah is a radiographer so between them, they have helped numerous people and are a big contributor to NHS.


Ian was diagnosed with poly cystic kidney disease and needs a transplant. The Baylis family’s Sporting Chance was at the West Midland Safari Park.

I would firstly like to say a massive Thank you to all concerned for the amazing day you so kindly gifted us at West Midland Safari Park.

We had the most amazing experience from feeding rhinos and giraffes, handling tortoises and having lorikeets land all over me!!! A massive achievement for me who really struggles with birds flying around my head!

To see all of us so animated after such a long time of lowness and Ian actually enjoy time with the kids has made the biggest difference to us all!

It is thanks to all of you that I have seen a light at the end of a very dark tunnel and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Along with the fact that the kindness of strangers has given Ian a new insight and drive to keep going.

We are building plans to pay it forward to the Polycystic Kidney disease charity in the summer by organising a Cheltenham 3 peaks walk with the support of an amazing group of friends
