Campaign Story
HELLO, I would like to start by Thanking you for taking the time out of your day to read this. My son Tomos John (Know as T.J to everyone that knows him ) is 3 years old, 4 the end of June, the last couple of years have being bad for T.J his Nana sadly past away in the march 2012 and his Step dad in the october 2012, T.J lost two poeple he cared for in the space of 8 months of each other, he stilll has days when he breaks down crying for them, T.J also has Cerebral palsy left side Hemiplegia as a result he does not have full use of all four limbs, it also effects his balance and co-ordination. T.J has weak muscles, he also suffers from day and night from leg and arm cramps even worse when there is a sudden change in weather, T.J can not ride a "Normal" bike due to his condition ( we have tried him on one )but this resulted in a few trips to hospital with cuts and bruises to his head, arms & legs so we are trying to rasie money for T.J to have a specialist tricycle made especially for his needs beacause the more activites T.J can engage in the more likely he is to develop a good degree of funcitonality in his limbs and this will help with his balance and co-ordination.
The tricycle will help him socialise with his peers and to know how it feels to ride a bike / tricycle along the seafront like his friends do and laugh / chat with them as they ride together.
Thank you once again for taking the time out of your day to read about my son Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
