I'm running the Chislehurst Half marathon to raise money for my son Sasha. I'll introduce you to Sasha further below. The money will go to Tree of Hope, where we can use it to fund Sasha's ABR therapy (which costs around £5,000 per year) and to pay for Sasha's amazing carer Nubiana, who has made his and our lives much better.

Hello! My name is Sasha and I am turning 16 in September. I love Mr Tumble, theme parks and animals. I also have cerebral palsy, which stops me from walking, talking, and using my hands. It doesn't stop me smiling though!

Three times a year, my dad takes me to a therapy called Advanced Biomechanical Rehabilitation (ABR), which aims to improve my posture, helping me to make purposeful movements. This means I have fewer problems with posture as I'm growing up. So far it has helped me avoid hip surgery.

Any donations towards helping me continue with these therapies, buying the specialist equipment that I require and paying for home adaptations, would be gratefully appreciated.

Most importantly, it will help pay for my amazing carer Nubiana who looks after me every day after school. She is lovely, makes me laugh, puts up with my constant requests to change Mr. Tumble episodes, and does most of my ABR therapy.

Thank you
