Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you are all aware my 22 month old son was born with this birth injury,due to his weight and the fact that the widwives and doctors are not trained well enough in this.

The Erbs palsy group are a fantastic charity who advise families on everything from claiming dla or how to start legal proceedings,aswell as training midwifery staff,and also arranging fun days for the children.I have found their advice to be invaluable as have many families.

My son Cameron had shoulder relocation surgery and nerve and tendon transfer surgery,and his arm will never be right,he also was unlucky in that they dislocated his shoulder at birth and doctors took 7 months to discover this.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

This is more common than you think and the only way children will stop having these rth injuries is if the Doctors and Midwifes are trained properly.Erbs palsy group is helping this happen.

Thank you!
