I am running a half marathon on Sunday October 9th and will be fund raising for Barney (my 6 year old nephew). When he was 9 months old he contracted encephalitis and suffered significant neurological damage. Sadly this has hindered his development and affected him in many ways, both physically and mentally. He has managed to defy all our expectations with his progress, helped along by loads of support and treatment. His main challenges are communicating and mobility. 7 months ago he started intensive treatment at Footsteps and in that time there has been a substantial improvement. The intensive therapy is unique in the UK and is repeated at least 3 times a year. At the latest session, he was able to walk along a set of parallel bars independently, so he is showing marked progress over a short period of time. The treatment has been specifically designed to help children like Barney to overcome their neurological challenges with the ultimate aim of making them more mobile. It is also designed for him to enjoy himself (please see the picture of him at his last session). You can get more information on Footsteps at www.footsteps.ltd.uk Obviously such intensive and repetitive treatment comes at a significant cost. The money I’ll raise will go towards helping Barney (and other children) reach their goals of increasing their mobility. So please dig deep and have one less pint in the pub this weekend and instead put the money to a very deserving cause … Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Raised so far: £3,260.00
