Story

We have decided to take on this challenge to give something back to this wonderful charity who have helped us and our amazing little girl Amber more than we can put into words.

After a tricky twin pregnancy Amber and her superstar sister Harper were born 10 weeks early.  Just before her first birthday Amber was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and we quickly had to adapt to life which included daily therapy, hospital appointments and some very steep learning curves.

Amber was lucky enough to be granted a fully funded therapy block at Bobath last year.  This came at a time when we were feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the different types of therapies Amber needs (physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy).  Bobath showed us how to bring all this together and incorporate it into everyday life without feeling like it was another task needing done and more importantly how to make it fun for a strong willed 2 year old!

During her block we saw Amber progress and do things we had never seen her do before and since we have continued to work on her development with the skills Bobath gave us.

We are likely to be starting another block of therapy with Bobath in the near future but for now we hope to raise some money to help give others like Amber access to the amazing therapists at Bobath Scotland.
