Harry was born two months premature and during a routine brain scan it was discovered that he had an upper motor neuron lesion in his brain, this led to a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Harry has already had one trip to Toronto and the consultant believes further treatment will enable him to walk short distances unaided.
Harry's former teaching assistant has offered to run The Nuts Challenge to help us raise the money to get him back to Canada for further treatment and therapy for his cerebral palsy and to hopefully help him take his first steps.
Amelia Baker has roped in three of her friends, Steph Forrest, Katie Barker and Ella McDonald, or Harry's Heroes as they are known collectively, to turn out on a cold and murky March Saturday and run the 7km assault course where they will encounter mud, a water assault course, climbing, crawling and challenging obstacles all the way round.
Amelia knows how much Harry has benefitted from his first session of therapy in Canada and immediately stepped up to help us get him back there for more treatment. Please help Harry's Heroes and help get Harry back to Canada for more treatment by sponsoring us anything you can!
If you'd like to come and support us, cheer us on, or just laugh at us it is being held on Saturday 4th March at Henfold Lane, Dorking, Surrey and our run is at 10:40am.
