My name is Ben, I have Cerebral Palsy, Hydrocephalus and Epilepsy.

I have decided to run a marathon!

Running alongside me will be my mum Nicky Mager, my auntie Julie Forte and my cousin Lucy Mager. I know their support will help get me across that finish line (though Mum thinks she may need to be carried!!)

I wanted to raise money for SHINE because they have supported me and my family since the day I was born. SHINE have provided invaluable help regarding my Hydrocephalus as well as advising on education and health matters. 

Shine provides specialist support from before birth and throughout the life of anyone living with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus, as well as to parents, families, carers and professional care staff. Shine enables people to get the best out of life.Everything we do is made possible by our generous supporters. Your fundraising efforts help individuals and families in your local communities across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Every donation has the potential for profound impact.THANK YOU for supporting Shine!
