Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Deborah and I am the mother of baby George who has recently been diagnosed with Hemiplegia. Hemiplegia  is the result of a brain injury which means George has problems using one side of his body. Hemiplegia can also cause problems such as epilepsy, challenging behaviour, fatigue and learning difficulties. Hemiplegia affects 1 in 1000 people yet there is little awareness of the condition.

Since his diagnosis, I have sought help in various places and one amazing charity is HemiHelp. They have offered support and information when I didn't know where else to go. HemiHelp is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and has an awareness week 17th -21st October. HemiHelp are encouraging people to take part in coffee mornings to raise money for them. Our coffee morning will have a little twist as coincidentally, George's 1st birthday falls during this awareness week so we will be celebrating by having friends and family, enjoying coffee, cake and making a donation instead of buying George birthday presents.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
