As you all know I'm a keen runner & love to put myself through the pain & agony of Marathon training! Many of you have asked if I was running for a charity this year and initially the answer was no as I feel bad asking the same people but I know once I get to the start line it will be a huge regret as London is such a fantastic Charity event where everyone comes together. 

I know I only have a couple of weeks left before the big day but if I can raise anything to help Asher i will be extremely grateful.

About Asher

Asher was born 10 week early with 3 holes in his heart. He had multiple operations to correct this and bravely fought back to good health. However at 8 months old Asher was diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a general term describing conditions that cause movement problems. Spastic cerebral palsy is where the muscles are stiff and rigid in one or more limbs in Ashers case quadriplegic means that all four limbs are affected. The underlying problem is damage to, or faulty development of part of the brain, In some cases there are also associated problems such as learning difficulties.

Now at nearly 3 years old Asher is a happy, smiley young boy who loves to engage with everyone around him however he is unable to sit up, roll over, stand, walk or feed himself properly. Asher has physio every day from his family and once a month from a Physio to try and alleviate some of the issues and to try and improve his motor function. This is the minimal amount that is required and Asher would benefit greatly from some intense physio sessions to try and bring on his development. There are also many pieces of equipment that would help Asher to develop further and allow him to enjoy life to the full.

We are raising money for Asher through the Tree of Hope charity we would love to provide him with everything that he needs but unfortunately these specialist treatments and equipment are very costly and we can only begin to give him whet he deserves with the generous help of others. Tree of Hope will collect any money donated and use it to directly pay for any treatments or equipment that Asher requires.
