Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Our Son Myles is 11 years old and has lots of problems including Cerebral Palsy , Scolliosis, High Muscle tone, Partially sighted, various orthopaedic problems including removal of both of Myles' hips in 2009 (to help him to be seated better.) Myles also has spinal rods and he is in a wheelchair - he cannot walk!
I am trying to raise a grand total of £9955 which is for a hot tub with shelter for Myles as the only exercise he can have is hydrotherapy or rebound therapy. Myles goes to Fountaindale School in Mansfield but due to staff shortages and funding Myles can only access their hydro pool once a fortnight (currently the pool is out of use as it has a major leak!)
As explained above Myles is a full time wheelchair user and he is putting weight on and he needs regular exercise - ideally daily. We have been advised by Myles' consultants that he needs regular Hydrotherapy exercise.
I have attached a link from The Nottingham Evening Post which shows a picture of Myles and explains in greater detail what he has had to endure over his 11 years.
