Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running this for Harry, the son of a close friend of mine, who suffers from this disabilitating condtion.

Erb's Palsy, also known as Brachial Plexus Paralysis is a condition which mainly due to birth trauma, can affect 1 or all of the 5 primary nerves that supply the movement and feeling to an arm. Each baby's injury is individual. The paralysis can be partial or complete; the damage to each nerve can range from bruising to tearing. Some babies recover on their own however some may require specialist intervention.

This has such an impact on childrens lives, as it restricts and prevents them from doing normal everyday children's activites we all take for granted. As people only tend to hear about it if it directly effects them, this charity often misses out on essential fund raising.

Harry is such an inspirational boy I am honoured to put myself through this pain............As most of those who know me, know Im pub fit!

So please dig deep and donate now.
