Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This little man is Sophie and Emily's best buddy and has been on an incredible journey since suprising his parents by arriving at 32 weeks.  

Dawson has a condition called Dystonic Spastic Diaplegic Cerebral Palsy. To help get him walking unaided Dawson will require SDR surgery. He is determined to walk by himself and this surgery will help him achieve this. 

I know life is tough for everyone during this pandemic but for everyone who knows me I have never been a runner and cannot even run to the end of my street. Taking on this 9 week couch to 5k will be a big challenge for me so if you can please donate to help Dawson on his journey I will be eternally grateful!

Read Dawson's main page to learn more. Thanks everyone xxx

SDR is not a cure for Cerebral Palsy but the operation intends to improve quality of life by reducing the muscle stiffness. The procedure is irreversible so the changes cannot be undone. But, the procedures effectiveness at reducing spasticity and improving quality of life has been demonstrated many times.
