Story

I’m raising money for Samuel because his an inspiration to everyone. The fact he has achieved what he has despite the obstacles he faces, and with a smile on his face is another level. Here’s a message from his family:

“Samuel is our happy gorgeous 6 year old from Stockport and he has cerebral palsy. We were told he would not walk when he was 1 as he hadn’t hit the typical milestones. Since then Samuel has done different types of therapy everyday like hydrotherapy, horse riding, physiotherapy, dmi Galileoto defy that diagnosis.

Samuel had a life changing spinal operation in 2022 called SDR at Alderley Hospital to enable him to take his first unaided steps at home which we are now trying to work on and build strength, core muscle control and most of all balance.

Samuel's therapy isn't funded by the NHS and is quite costly each week. Then the equipment he needs runs into the £1000’s and we have to fund raise each year to make sure he can have all the opportunities available to give him the best chance of independence.

We have a small window of time to increase his independence after the operation. Just4Children are fundraising for therapy intensive therapy costs and specialist equipment to help Samuel reach his goal of being as independent as possible and being able to jump in muddy puddles! Which has been a dream of his for some time.

We thank you for all your continued support on our journey and sending you all lots of love from the Grimes family”
