I am running the London Marathon in April to raise money for the Bobath Cerebral Palsy Centre. This cause, and the Bobarth centre in particular, is important to my family, as they have been both using and involved with the centre for many years. We have experienced first-hand what amazing work the Bobarth does in providing improvement to the lives of those living with Cerebral Palsy.

Unfortunately the need is increasing as the over-stretched NHS can't cope with demand, and people are increasingly forced to make difficult choices to afford essential therapy.

For nearly 70 years The National Bobath Cerebral Palsy Centre has been committed to providing support, therapy and information to people living with cerebral palsy and their families, for life. Cerebral palsy is a life-long condition that is often caused by a stormy start in life. It is the most common childhood disability, affecting 2 in every 1000 live births and there isn't a cure. Every year, the expert team at the Bobarth supports over 300 individuals, from babies and toddlers to teenagers and adults, with specialist therapy. Therapy which may help someone manage pain, increase mobility or just get on with their day-to-day life.

A donation would be very helpful in enabling them to carry on their work, supporting more children, families and individuals.

Thank you!

Mike
