10 marathon row for Harry's Trike
Donation protected
I am raising money for a specialized trike for our son Harrison.
Harry has rare condition called Pontine Tegmental Cap Dysplasia which effects his ability to use a regular trike or bike. His condition also effects his hearing and Harry is proufoudly deaf. He has loss of feeling in his eyes and mouth which has recently resulted in Harry needing 12 teeth removed to prevent him injuring himself. Harrison faces many challenges every day and we put every effort into making him feel like a normal child. He is fiercely independent and we want to encourage him in every way possible.
We don't believe Harrison should miss out on the chance to be able to ride his very own bike, just like every other child! A trike will also help strengthen his leg and core muscle to hopefully help him walk unaided one day
Harrison had a test drive of one a few months ago and has not stopped talking about it since! Unfortunately, a safe, specialized trike costs an an awful lot more than a regular bike and we, as a family cannot afford the cost alone.
I want to help Harrison get his trike!
I have set myself the challenge of rowing (on the rowing machine) 10 marathons from now until January 1st. That is 420 km and roughly 40hours non stop rowing. This will be a big challenge for me as I am NOT rower and do find it hard but I believe I can do it for Harrison!
I hope with the support of friends and family I can raise enough money to afford Harrison's trike for his birthday in March (they get built to order) The trike will cost £1986 and if I can raise any money to put towards it will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for reading my story. Any body who knows Harrison will know how much it will mean to him!
