Story

<p>Being able to exercise is something most of us take for granted. It improves your health, psychological well-being, reduces stress, and relieves depression and anxiety.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, when you are living with Downs syndrome, and suffering from Perthes disease, finding ways to exercise, that have a positive effect is not easy.&nbsp;</p> <p>By making a donation to our appeal you will be directly helping to provide a solution to this problem for a young boy that lives in our village. We intend to buy him a purpose built specialist tricycle that will enable him to fulfill a more active, and rewarding, lifestyle and have it delivered in time for Christmas!</p> <p>Please give generously, and tell your friends.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Anything we raise above our target will be donated to the Down syndrome training and support service.&nbsp;</p> <p>For more information visit their website at:</p> <p>http://downsupportbradford.btck.co.uk/</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for reading and making a contribution.</p> <p>DON'T FORGET TO GIFT AID! :-)</p>
