Orpington Road Runners has chosen Harry Magee, 24, as their fundraising cause for the year after he suffered life-altering injuries in an accident. Paralyzed from the shoulders down, he relies on constant care but remains remarkably positive. Club member Kim Chance praised Harry's character, emphasizing his resilience and intelligence. The organization aims to fund a wheelchair-accessible vehicle for Harry, allowing him greater independence and comfort. The unanimous decision to support Harry reflects deep personal connections within the club, particularly through his father, Peter, a longstanding member who has organized charity races for the club.
Harry is the most amazing, amazing human being. Through all this adversity, he doesn't complain. He's just positive. I have to say I've never met anyone like him.
This year, all the members voted for Harry. It was a very easy decision. Everyone knows Pete, and a lot of us know Harry as well.
The van will need to be large enough to accommodate his wheelchair, vital medical equipment, and carers, and will come with ongoing costs.
He's a very, very smart young man. I tell him he must have a brain the size of a planet.
