Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and helping me to raise funds for Felix Forbes through Tree Of Hope.

Felix is a very happy and cheeky nearly 7yr old with a very rare genetic brain disorder called Lissencephaly and Miller-Dieker Syndrome. Lissencepahly, which literally translates to ‘smooth brain’. This means that during pregnancy his brain didn't fully develop the full six layers a normal functioning brain has, but instead has only four. This condition impacts in ways many of us take for granted, like swallowing food for example or even holding up your own head.

In order for Felix to make as much progress as possible, his family works closely with the NHS and a network of therapists to try to build his strength and to keep him as healthy as possible. Felix is responding so well with the therapies he receives and this is one of the biggest contributors to maintaining his health. He’s also getting very big and with his seizures, his family are in the process of needing to adapt their house to help them get him around, be included in all family rooms and to be able to see him at all times. With the help of the NHS he is responding extremely well but unfortunately the amount of time the therapists are able to give him just isn’t enough to meet his needs and even though the council are great they too are unable to meet all his mobility and inclusion needs. So we are raising funds for adaptations, the best possible therapy and specialist equipment.

Please give what you can to help make a difference to Felix and his family. You can find out more about this amazing little boy here: https://www.treeofhope.org.uk/gofelix/
