AN ALLERGY to sunlight has left Mary Lipscombe trapped inside her home almost 24/7 for the last 20 years.
But Mary, 76, has not let this rare condition stop her from enjoying life and she has become a major ‘silver surfer’ using the internet, email and social media as her way into the outside world - she has even turned her hand to web design for a variety of organisations.
“Life doesn’t have to start once you get outside your front door,” said Mary, of Medina Way, Barugh Green.
“I might be stuck inside but I can still enjoy life and I can still keep in touch with people.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
