This is Jack. He is an amazing little man...my hero! He is almost 6 years old and has an exceptionally rare chromosome abnormality. This has caused him a variety of issues from a mild heart defect to a blood clotting disorder. He has hypermobility and up until recently got a taxi into school with us living out of the area. We have now moved closer he is really struggling with the school run. He becomes very tired and his legs are like bambi! He falls often and this coupled with his clotting disorder mean that he is covered in bruises all the time. I have a baby of 8 months in a pram and her 2 year old sister using a buggy board, this means that Jack always has to walk and it can take us up to 45 minutes to do a 10 minute walk. We have been referred for an adapted trike for him but unfortunately have to raise the funds ourselves. The quote we have for everything he needs is £900!! He absolutely loved trying the trike out and we know that it will really help him on longer journeys. It will help immensely with building up his muscles as well.
I have decided that to raise this money I will do something that will be very tough...I will walk through the butterfly enclosure at the zoo!! Anybody who knows me will know that this is an extremely hard thing for me to do as Im absolutely terrified! I attempted it once and almost fainted at the entrance!! Jack needs this trike and he is brave all the time so its time for me to show some bravery in raising funds for him! I will make sure that it is videoed for anybody who would like to watch my agony. So please please help us get this trike for an exceptionally special, brave and beautiful little boy.
Thank you
