Natalie Bell is one of life’s good networkers so when she put out the call to hold an event for Will Murray, left quadriplegic after a diving accident, you knew he’d receive awesome support.

More than 170 people gathered at Palace Dendy Cinema, they were happy to donate spare change and were given the chance to win incredible art.

The community has mobilised since it first heard about fourteen-year-old Will’s diving accident.

Why?

Because it could have been anyone’s child.

“I was touched by the contributions of the community toward Will Murray’s cause and as a mother of three, felt that this could have happened to any one of us. I was of the feeling that if everyone did a little bit to help, then maybe as a community we may be able to make a difference,” says Natalie.

These guests appears to agree.
