Doug Boddy was known by many as a tough and no nonsense man. In reality he was one of the kindest and most caring people anyone could meet, especially where his family were concerned. Doug was a family man, loving his wife, daughter and grandchildren like no other. He found great pleasure in the youngest members of his family, especially his great nieces and nephews. Whilst he loved them all one child faced more challenges than most. Arthur has Prader Willi Syndrome. Doug took great pleasure in watching his progress and celebrated every achievement and success.

Prader- Willi Syndrome is caused by a rare (1 in 15,000 births) random genetic mutation. Some of the symptoms include feeding difficulties in infancy, low muscle tone, mild to moderate learning difficulties , behavioural problems and hypherphagia. A huge part of Arthurs condition means he suffers with low muscle tone. This affects his mobility and speech. 

It is in Doug's memory that donations are welcomed to allow Arthur to continue to access Heel and Toe's amazing facilities such as physiotherapy and speech and language therapy. Knowing that Arthur will benefit from his Uncle Doug's memory will truly make him smile.
