Bobath Children's Therapy Centre Wales is a registered charity that depends on donations and the fundraising efforts of friends and supporters to enable them to see every child with cerebral palsy who needs us. Children from every part of come to the centre for specialist therapy.  By helping Bobath Children's Therapy Centre Wales, you can make a real and positive difference to children in who have cerebral palsy.

One of these children is my son Evan who is two and a half years old.  He is an intelligent and happy little boy, but Cerebral Palsy means he cannot walk unaided.  It is likely his gross motor skills will be severely delayed and he will require therapy throughout his life.  As a result of his first bock of therapy he was able to get into sitting from crawling on his own for the first time and is becoming stronger each day when walking holding on to furniture.  He is due to embark on his second block of therapy in April 2010 and we are looking forward with anticipation to see what Evan will achieve next as a result of this block.  Unfortunately NHS resources are limited and he may not be able to gain further blocks of therapy without the help of charitable donations; many other children are in a similar position.   To provide all the necessary therapy for children referred to the centre and keep the centre running requires £800,000 per year.  An individual therapy block costs £4,400.  I raised £1092 by completing the 5k run in Cardiff in September 2009, but this was only the start.  My aim for 2010 is to raise £5000 through as many events as possible and with the support of our families and friends.  Planned events will be listed below.  Donating via Just Giving is easy and if you would like to support us we would very much appreciate it.
