Story

<p>&pound;7,500 is enough money&nbsp;to put one child with Cerebral Palsy through a year of schooling at the Dame Vera Lynn Trust in Five Oaks, near Billingshurst.</p> <p>Admittedly, I never wanted to run a marathon in my life time. But a visit to the centre and a chance to speak to dedicated volunteers and parents beyond grateful for everything they do, was enough to change my mind.</p> <p>Their aim is to work in partnership with parents to educate children with the disability, associated with motor learning difficulties and impaired muscle coordination.</p> <p>Skills learnt through the centre are put into practise at home, in a bid to enable their child to lead a normal and happy life.&nbsp;</p> <p>Their are so many great causes out there, but only a small majority that put your donations to use from the very beginning of someone's life.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please donate knowing you are investing in a child's future.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
