Together we are raising money for Hemihelp as the charity has helped my family tremendously when my daughter suffered a paediatric stroke. As a result of this we discovered that our daughter had cerebral palsy and in Scarletts case Hemiplegia which affects the one side of her body. There is no cure, however with the help of splints, Physio therapy, occupational therapy, Botox and surgery we are seeing improvements. At the time our world fell apart and through the support of Hemihelp we were able to have a better understanding of what Hemiplegia is and what help and support is available to help her in every day life. We have also attended a conference that Hemihelp hosted which enabled her to meet up with other children with hemiplegia and we were able to chat with other parents to share information and support.

Our children attend the same school together and Sarah came up with the idea of fundraising for this fantastic charity with Scarlett in mind.

HemiHelp provides information, support and guidance to people with hemiplegia, a lifelong condition caused by injury to the brain. It affects movement on one side of the body to a varying degree and can also cause other less visible effects such as epilepsy, specific learning difficulties, anxiety or challenging behaviour. HemiHelp's mission is to support people with hemiplegia and their families at every stage of their lives.
