Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Our son Sebastian was diagnosed with hemiplegia cerebral palsy - he was 2 years old. It was made apparent that during my pregnancy Seb had suffered a haemorrhage to his brain and as a result he has paralysis down his right side. We were told he will never be able to compete with his peers, he will have to do physio for the rest of his life, he will have various aides to support him to complete day to day activities and despite this and despite every fall,knock, bruise,accident and bloody nose. Seb remains a confident, smart and charming little boy. We as parents are so inspired by him and his disability, his positive attitude, the way he just picks himself up and smiles on. So we are raising money for our charity Hemihelp who have been nothing but informative and supportive. They have certainly helped us understand that we are not alone. So please dig deep anything you have to spare will help them and another family and know that we are nothing but truley greatful for you kindess from the bottom our hearts thank you The Kingys x
