Hello! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Im doing a Coast to Coast cycle with my Dad to raise money for Children's Hospice South West (CHSW). On Saturday 24th – Sunday 25th May, we will get the train to Barnstable and then cycle 116km (72 miles) back to Plymouth.

CHSW have 3 hospices, and we go to Little Harbour because my brother, Josh, has epilepsy and gets quite poorly. He was diagnosed when he was 6 weeks old and has still got it now. He is 7 but his mind acts like he is 3 or 4. When we go to Little Harbour I am supported by the Sibling's (Sibs) Team. They play football with me, play in the soft play with me, take me out on trips and play pool with me.

There is usually at least 1 other sibling so I have some company while the nurses and carers look after my brother. If I have any worries about anything the Sibs team are there to listen and help. All of the nurses and carers at Little Harbour help Josh to do his best, have fun and give me and my parents a break because he is quite hard work sometimes. My brother struggles with his feelings and behaviour which adds to the stress of his seizures at home as well as out and about. Little Harbour gives us time to be a family without needing to worry about him.
