Olly is 5 years old and has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and epilepsy.
He doesn't have any functional use of his arms or legs and can't talk.
Olly tries very hard to communicate in other ways but this can be very frustrating as it is not always easy for us to know what he is trying to tell us.
Recently Olly tried out a Tobi Eye Gaze system. This allows him to select items from a screen by looking at them, he used it in the trial for playing games.
There is hope that this could be used to be as a way of allowing Olly to communicate with us.
Having an eye gaze would open up Olly's world massively, be that by being able to independently play basic games or by learning to communicate with those around him.
Olly has been such a fighter all through his life and deserves the best chance but this is costly. The system Olly tried costs about £6000.
That is why Charly (Olly's Mummy), Lucy (Olly's auntie) and Jo (Ollys carer and a great friend) have signed up to run the Bournemouth half marathon on 8th October.
This is a huge challenge as none of us are runners but we all have the shared goal to do this for Olly!
Friend and colleague of Charly, Suzanna, has also signed up to run for Olly. An experienced marathon runner, she has decided to run this time for Olly
