Hello
My name is Lynsey Stevens. I am doing a sponsored charity sky dive. I am doing this along with my friend Claire Jay. We are doing it in aid of the charity Child Growth foundation. Claire's daughter, Chantelle, has the condition called Russell Silver Syndrome -RSS. This condition dramatically effects growth , one side of the body maybe also be shorter than the other & feeding can be very difficult in a lot of cases an operation is necessary were a gastro tube is fitted.
Chantelle is a bright, bubbly, girl with an infectious smile, CGF has helped her in lots of ways so we would like to give back to them by raising lots of money.
The CGF (child growth foundation) have information on every identifiable growth-related abnormality,
CGF aim is to-
- Support and encourage all persons (either children or adults) who have growth disorders, and their families, in any manner which is charitable in accordance with the law of the United Kingdom.
- Promote and fund research into the causes and cure of growth disorders in children within the area of benefit and to publish the results of such research
- Educate the public in general and workers in the medical profession in particular, in the problems and difficulties encountered by those with growth disorders.
- Encourage the regular monitoring of growth and development criteria by medical professionals, at all levels, and facilitate such monitoring by identifying and making available on loan or for purchase equipment suitable for the purpose.
