funds raised by employees at Genting UK who ran the Rock n Rock San Diego Half Marathon in June 2018. £50,000 was raised in total by five runners from Genting Casino UK and the money was donated to CHIPS – a charity founded on behalf of the casino and gaming industry, to raise money and present disabled young people with specialised wheelchairs.

CHIPS changes another young person’s life A
19-year-old boy with cerebral palsy has been presented with a brand-new powered wheelchair by British boxing legend Frank
Bruno, courtesy of CHIPS Charity and Genting UK at Resorts World Birmingham. Ashley Healey, who lives in Crewe with his mum, dad and stepbrother, has quadriplegic cerebral palsy which means he is reliant on a wheelchair. Ashley has just started college and his old wheelchair was heavy and difficult to use. His new powered wheelchair will provide him
with greater independence, better seat support, improved posture and greater comfort. The powered wheelchair was purchased with
really exciting evening and at times it was even overwhelming. I can’t thank Genting Casino UK and CHIPS enough for providing Ashley with this powered wheelchair.
“It is truly amazing that there are people doing
this for children like Ashley. It’s people like them that make a difference in the world and if it wasn’t for them, he would never have received a powered wheelchair like this.” Jon Duffy, Director of Corporate Assurance &
Regulatory Affairs at Genting said: “Genting UK staff members who ran the Rock n Roll San Diego Half Marathon and raised money for CHIPS have once again helped improved the life of a deserving young person.
“Education is hugely important so it’s fantastic that Ashley will now be able to get around college a lot easier than he did in the past.”
