<p>Hi,</p> <p>Thanks for taking a look at my fundraising page.</p> <p>I am taking part in a white water rafting experience on Saturday March 10 2012 to raise money for The London Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy.</p> <p>You may not know this but one in 400 births are affected by cerebral palsy, a non-progressive condition that affects the brain and nervous system functions such as movement, learning, hearing, seeing, and thinking. The incurable condition is a result of injury to the brain before, during or shortly after birth.</p> <p>There is no&nbsp;cure for the&nbsp;condition but treatment from an early age, such as occupational therapy and conductive education, can assist with&nbsp;encouraging children to lead independent lives and help with movement control.</p> <p>I am raising money on behalf of the centre&nbsp;that use conductive education to encourage children's&nbsp;independence and develop their&nbsp;self-esteem and provide emotional support for parents. The money raised will go towards helping the centre provide children with the services and equipment they need.</p> <p>Thank you&nbsp;for your contribution!</p> <p>Measha</p>
