Story

I will be running my first ever full Marathon and going for the big one London Marathon 2024 for an amazing charity who has helped a family friends daughter out throughout her life so far. Please sponsor me however much you would like, even just £1 I will be grateful to you all to help to keep this charity going and supporting special children in their needs & to help get me through this marathon knowing I have the support of you all.

Thank you all so much Sar xx Ps I’m running for that large Sav wine at the end haha!

See below the background on this amazing charity:

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 (CP) 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, our expert team 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.

The need is increasing, sadly, as the over-stretched NHS can't cope with demand and the cost of living crisis forces many to make difficult choices between essential therapy or paying a bill.

Your very kind donation will enable us to carry on our work, supporting more children, families and individuals. Thank you.
