Story

I am Raising Money for Reach they are an incredible Charity that have supported myself and Family. At my 14 week scan I was told  My baby boy Henry was missing limbs we were absolutely devastated but never gave up on him regardless of what we were told we kept fighting. Henry is the most incredible inspirational and happiest boy and is living life beyond limits regardless of his disability he is reaching all milestones. Not only are we raising awareness and showing others with his determination that you can do anything you want to regardless of your disability. When we were feeling worried and alone we did not know who to turn to Reach were so helpful and understanding they are a wonderful community of families that come together to support each other, the charity enables this to happen by funding activities and time for our Reach children to get meet up and spend valuable time together. Reach works with academic institutes to undertake research to help support parents and children.Reach offer bursaries for children to have adaptations made when the ableist world we live in lets them down.The support Reach offers families is invaluable and without them many children and parents would feel isolated and alone.Please donate what you can. It would mean so much to Henry and us as a family to support this charity.
