Story
My name is Mary, I am one of the Landladies of the Fountain Inn, Rowlands Castle. I have always wanted to do the Lands End to John O'Groats cycle route. I have seen and watched Oakley go through hospital treatment, pain and he still comes away smiling and pushing himself. I just hope I can do the same. My aim is to cycle the 1,083 miles on an exercise bike. I have signed up for the event with Virtual Mission to help motivate me even more. I am hoping to have completed the route within 4 weeks. I work full time in a different day job, so will be pushed to get this done… but if Oakley pushes himself, then I should be able to also. Outside the pub we will also have a treadmill. This will be available for people to jog, walk or run (for a small donation) the same distance. If as a communitive, the distance on the treadmill is reached before I manage it... I will donate £100 towards Oakley' fund.
Below is Oakley's story. Please, please donate generously for such a worthy cause.
Oakley's Story. Hi, we have been holding a range of events since 2013 to raise money for our 9 year old son Oakley. The fundraising target is £60,000 and we would like to thank everybody for their support and fundraising efforts so far, which has enabled Oakley to go to America for an SDR operation, successfully performed By DR T.S PARK in 2013 and four years of physiotherapy and strength conditioning training, getting him up on his feet and taking independent steps and walking short distances. However, we still have a way to go to reach our target. Most recently on the 15th of August 2017 Oakley had a follow up operation called "Hamstring lengthening" which was performed at Southampton general hospital by Dr Caroline Edwards. This operation released/lengthened his ham-strings enabling Oakley to straighten his legs better. After a lot of strength and conditioning training Oakley will be able to walk better and without a painful crouch.
