Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running a sponsored 10KM race end of October this year in support of Grace Windram. Grace,the 5 year old daugher of a colleague of mine has Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy. This condition (caused by damage to the brain in late pregnancy / birth) means her movements are severly affected, in particular her lower body.

As a result, Grace cannot stand or walk, and other movements are a real struggle. In addition, the spasticity (tightness) in her legs cause discomfort, which will worsen as she grows.

There is however, hope - a hospital in the US can operate on her to remove certain nerves in the spine that will enable her to walk again

Grace desparately wants to walk like her friends and this operation may just make her dream a reality. It also brings a host of other health benefits that will help her later in life.

Please follow the link on this page for Grace Windram. 

The whole operation costs £40,000 - the race is my little bit to help Grace. Please dig deep and donate as much as you can - my employer matches your donation - so it doubles!!   

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
