Story

Christian is 5 years old and has a HIE brain injury, Cerebral palsy and is severely sight impaired, he whilst in isolation has become a little scared of walking on his frame, we are doing daily walks to build his confidence and strength back up. We have set him a goal of walking 3 miles outside and near our house within the next 2 weeks. a big goal but he’s so determined we know he can do this if he works hard. We would like to raise lots of money for the NHS as they saved Christians life at birth and have cared for him ever since and we are forever grateful, here is his story - 

Christian was stillborn and it took 23 minutes of resuscitation to start his heart and he took his first breath at 24 minutes old. Due to the lack of oxygen for this prolonged time he suffered a brain injury which caused severe brain damage. His brain was cooled and he was placed on a ventilator to try and save his life, He was given less than 1% chance of coming out of the coma but defied all the odds and miraculously pulled through. As a result of the brain damage he has since been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and is registered severely sight impaired. Those early months we were told lots of things he would struggle to achieve and lots of things he wouldn’t be able to do at all. We made a promise to Christian back then that we would push all those “can’ts” aside and focus on what he could do and encourage and push his development forward in every way we could. He has amazed us ever since with his progress and his positive attitude and determination.
