New date released: Innes challenge will go ahead on the 13th of July.

It's past the Three year mark when my son was diagnosed with Mild diplegic cerebral palsy at 5 years old after numerous tests, observations and finalised with an MRI scan. We were advised by health professionals that my son would probably never be able to cycle a bike without stabilizers, that they were doubtful he would ever have the ability to swim unaided and that he would not be very "sports capable".  Now aged 8, having gone through 3 years of physiotherapy and attending various specialized clinics, he has proven all his health professionals wrong and is participating and succeeding in all the above activities. His physiotherapist during a recent session stated that it was amazing that Innes' mobility is as good as it is and that it is solely down to his determination in keeping active and not giving up even when his legs are tired and sore. She added that due to how physically active Innes is, he is doing his own physiotherapy through football and P.E. and as a result, only has to maintain his home physio programme during times of rapid growth to help loosen up his muscles and ease the pain and discomfort of his muscles ceasing. Unfortunately, they're are thousands of children who aren't as fortunate as Innes and as we were blessed with great therapies and support to aid Innes on his journey, others aren't as lucky. 1 child born every 6 minutes will be diagnosed with cerebral palsy, with the effects ranging from mild to severely restricted. Bobath Scotland is a centre situated in the drumchapel area of Glasgow and offers a wide range of tailor made therapy sessions for children who suffer from cerebral palsy. 

• Just £15.00 can buy DVD's to record therapy sessions within the family home.
  
• £50 can buy a visual toy for a child with a sight impairment.
• £100 can pay for specialist wedges to make therapy sessions more comfortable for service users.

Our aim is to raise awareness of cerebral palsy and aid Bobath to continue to offer the service they provide. 75% of Bobath's income is from fundraising alone and without that fundraising, they wouldn't be able to continue to help children in Scotland who suffer from Cerebral Palsy.
As i previously mentioned, Innes is extremely lucky that his diagnoses hasn't restricted him in doing what he loves to do and by looking at him, you would never know he had a diagnoses of diplegic cerebral palsy. We would just like to do our bit in recognition of others who aren't as fortunate as Innes so in order to do that and raise money for Bobath Scotland: Innes, myself and a small number of friends are going to climb Ben Nevis... Why not? He's overcome everything else ;)

We are asking for your help to support Innes in the biggest challenge yet that has been set before him and by doing that, you will be supporting thousands of children over Scotland overcome some of their own personal challenges through aiding Bobath Scotland therapy centre.

Please sponsor my hero, my son, Innes. <3
