We’re a charity that improves the lives of children and adults with cerebral palsy through specialist therapy, support and information. We’re ambitious for people with cerebral palsy. For over 25 years our therapists have worked alongside people with cerebral palsy, their families and carers, helping them develop practical skills which transform daily life.Founded by a group of determined parents whose children were unable to get the specialised therapy they needed close to home, we’re the only cerebral palsy charity in Scotland.
Ciaran was diagnosed with cerebral Palsy shortly after birth. He attends the centre for much needed therapy but this comes at a massive cost to the family. Every therapy blocks brings him on so much, so any break in this send him back in his progress so I want to make sure the full year of therapy is paid for him. That way he can continue to progress into the amazing boy he is, and my cousin does not need to worry about how this will be funded
Over the last 13 years I have raised over £196.000 for charity, mainly for children with cancer. I then decided to split my fundraising as I wanted to know that ciaran would get his therapy.
I am due to run my 20th great north run in September and my 20th full marathon on April and managed to get a spot in the Chicago marathon in October. My 11th annual charity ball will take place in October and there may be other events in between
Every penny will make a difference to Ciaran and to the charity, so I Really appreciate each and every single donation.
