Boxer Bruno presents 14-year-old boy with life-changing gift A


14-year-old boy with cerebral palsy has been


presented with his very own lightweight wheelchair by boxing legend Frank Bruno, courtesy of CHIPS Charity and Genting UK at Resorts World Birmingham. Finn Lusty, from


Cheltenham, lives with his mum, stepdad and three siblings and has


a huge passion for sport. Finn has cerebral palsy spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy that causes muscle stiffness which makes walking difficult and as a result, is a full-time wheelchair user. Finn has recently outgrown his wheelchair and


following a bike accident in 2017, has become even more reliant on his wheelchair. The new chair provided by CHIPS and Genting UK will enable him to enjoy his passion for sport and as a result of the mountain bike wheels on the chair, Finn will now be able to access sports fields and referee football games, as well as participate in other wheelchair sports. The wheelchair was purchased with funds raised by employees at Genting UK who ran the Rock and


Roll Madrid Marathon and Half Marathon in April 2017. £20,000 was raised in total by ten 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 for specialised wheelchairs to give to young people with disabilities. Frank Bruno said: “I was delighted to have been


asked by Genting UK and CHIPS to present Finn with a brand-new wheelchair. “As a former sportsman myself, I believe every


young person should have the opportunity to participate in sport and it’s amazing to hear this wheelchair will give Finn the opportunity to get more involved in something he’s so passionate about.” Vickie Lusty, Finn’s mother, said: “The new
