In case you are not aware of 5yr old Billy Douglas from N.Ireland. Here is a brief run down of why we are raising money, along with a few links for you to watch.
Cathy and Billy's mum Savien would really like you to get to know Billy better, therefore have included a couple of video's for you to watch at your leisure.
They have also included the link to his just giving page. In the hope that people will support their efforts, in helping Billy achieve his dream of running around the play ground with his friends.............
The appeal started in Dec 2011, when Billy was given the devastating news of his brain damage.
The family had a couple of months to raise £50k. If not, their pride and joy would be in a wheelchair for life.........

Through hard work and lots of begging, the money was raised and Aug 2012 Billy had his operation.......

Four hard hours of rehab, daily for the next 3yrs along with hydro pool lessons, horse riding and many many items of equipment were needed. But at a cost of £80 an hour just for his physio alone his family struggled. They were simply too busy with Billy to fund raise anymore......
Billy's mum left work and the hard work begun....

Now 20mths on and 1yr left. Billy's family have asked for a bit of help, to help to fund his final year.
As his needs have changed, he needs different equipment etc. All of this comes at a huge cost. So the family have an amazing charity backing them and allowing them to have all donations go via them. The charity then inturn buy whatever Billy needs. Amazing eah :)...
So please watch Billy's updated video here and watch how far he has come over the past 2yrs. With your help, support and donations. You can make the difference needed for Billy to achieve his dreams of playing and training with his able bodied friends...
