Story

Hiya!

I'll be running the London Marathon on 25th April in aid of the Valerie Taylor Trust (VTT). www.valerietaylortrust.org

The VTT is the UK fundraising charity that supports the work of the Centre for the Rehabilitation for the Paralysed (CRP) in Bangladesh.  CRP is a unique centre that was originally set up to provide treatment and rehabilitation for spinal injured adults.  CRP celebrated its 30th Anniversary last November and the work at the centre has expanded to include assessment and treatment of children with cerebral palsy and other conditions.

CRP is an amazing place,  to gain a full picture of its work take a look at its website www.crp-bangladesh.org

CRP offers hope to poor people of Bangladesh as no person is turned away on financial grounds.

My Mum (Janet Ivin) has been undertaking voluntary work every year (apart from one) since October 2000 and will be making her ninth visit to CRP in February this year.  I was able to visit Mum at CRP during her visit last year whilst I was on a working flight to Dhaka.  This was my second visit and I was impressed by all that I saw.  Unfortunately BA no longer fly to Dhaka, so sadly Mum will not be able to take advantage of any more hugely discounted stand-by tickets!!

The goal of the Valerie Taylor Trust is to financially contribute to the treatment, rehabilitation and reintegration into the community of disabled people in Bangladesh, particularly those in financial need. We also aim to assist with education of the public and relevant health care workers about the problems faced by disabled people and ways in which these difficulties can be overcome.
