Story

Isaac has decided to take on the challenge of swimming a mile, to raise money for his friend Chester. Both boys were born in 2016, but

Chester was born 9 weeks early and spent his first 50 days in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; Chester was later diagnosed with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy affecting all 4 limbs meaning his gross motor functions are severely impacted and he is a full time wheelchair user.

In 2021, Chester and his family travelled to the US during lockdown for highly complex SDR surgery which his parents fully fundraised for.

The procedure was a success. Through Chester’s and his family’s gritty determination he has achieved so much, however, his parents have had to continue to pay for multiple weekly therapy sessions as part of Chester's ongoing rehabilitation post op. He has made fantastic progress but as he grows and his body changes, he has to work even harder and physical therapy is more important than ever. This is why they are continuing to fundraise for his ongoing rehabilitation and to ensure he has the best quality of life possible

Isaac has been inspired by how much Chester has achieved in life and that is why he has chosen Chester’s charity to raise money for. when he takes on the challenge of swimming a mile.
