Get George Moving!
Donation protected
Our son George is a very much loved, smiley and content one year old.
He had a stroke prior to being born and has brain damage. Cerebral palsy (hemiplegia) has meant that he is unable to roll, sit, crawl or walk. His occupational therapist arranged for him to try out this powered wheelchair.
George was amazing- see for yourself! The designer of the chair commented that he had never seen anyone so young be so responsive.
There is overwhelming evidence that the earlier children are able to move independently the better it is for their all round development. Enabling George to know that he can reach a toy from across the room without help or enabling him to choose to catch up with his brother in the park changes his expectations of life. It will expand his world and help him reach his potential.
Although this chair is expensive (£6000) it will last until he is 10 years old. It can be used indoors and outdoors, on grass and even on a beach. Surprisingly, like many other recommended aids for disabled children, it is not provided by the NHS. If you wish to help buy this chair - here is a message from George:
