<div>Frankie is a beautiful 15-month-old little boy whose life began with an unimaginable fight. Shortly after he was born, Frankie suffered a bleed on the brain, a devastating event that changed the course of his life forever. This injury resulted in a diagnosis of dystonic cerebral palsy, a condition that affects his muscle control, movement, and ability to do the things many children learn naturally.

</div>
<div>Instead of spending his first year learning to crawl, explore, and play, Frankie has spent over 13 months out of his 15 months of his life in hospital. These months have been filled with uncertainty, medical procedures, and countless appointments and MDTs, but also with remarkable strength, determination, and courage far beyond his years. Despite everything he has endured, Frankie continues to smile, laugh, and show an incredible will to keep going.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of his condition, Frankie requires specialised equipment and intensive therapy to support his development. He needs a suitable wheelchair designed specifically for his needs so he can sit comfortably, be supported safely, and experience the world around him with greater independence. This does come at a cost of around £5,000. Alongside this, regular physiotherapy is essential to help manage his dystonia, improve his movement, prevent pain, and give him the best chance to reach his full potential. Unfortunately, these vital supports come with significant costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help provide Frankie with the wheelchair he urgently needs, as well as additional physiotherapy sessions that are not always available through standard services. Every donation, no matter how small, will help ease the burden on Frankie and his family and make a real difference in his day-to-day life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading Frankie’s story, for sharing it, and for supporting him on his journey. Your kindness will help give Frankie comfort, opportunity, and hope for the future. 
</div>
