Story

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. 

 

I’m going to take on the South Downs Way – 100 grueling off-road  miles and 13,620 ft of climbing on mountain bikes, over slippy, chalky & boggy trails and that’s before we even consider the great British weather!  If you want to help Wes too then you can donate here – for Wesley's Wish - a charity appeal setup to help a little boy from Leeds learn to walk.

Please sponsor me if you're able to.

 

More about Wesley's Wish...

 

www.wesleyswish.org

 

Wes was born at 31 weeks and, shortly after birth, suffered damage to the part of his brain that deals with motor control.  As a result, he cannot sit, crawl, stand or walk.

There is hope, however, in the form of a pioneering neurosurgical procedure called 'Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy'  (SDR).  This operation is coupled with a long-term course of specialist physiotherapy.  Thousands of children in Wesley's condition have benefitted from these treatments and are now walking, rather than in wheelchairs.

 

Wesley's Wish exists to raise funds to give Wes this life-changing chance.  We're working with Tree of Hope, who are helping us to fundraise: 100% of everything donated will be ringfenced for Wes.
