Story

We are raising money for a fantastic brave little boy to get his new wheels.

Finley has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type 2. SMA is a genetic disease that causes muscle weakness and progressive loss of movement. Which is why we are raising money to give Finley his freedom back. He has really got his heart set on the Koala chair as it goes up and down in height, to enable him to interact and fit in with other children at nursery and school.

We would like to thank you so much for your donation, in advance, not matter how big or small. As every little helps :)

Love Charlotte, Jonny, Lucy, and Matt xxx
