Brainwave for Mia
Donation protected
As some of you know Mia was born with a small deletion of chromosome 1, through having this deletion she suffers from hearing and sight problems but primarily this results in her having a profound learning disability.
Mia has worked hard over the last 6 years with the help of her family and many professionals and is able to sit unaided, and more recently she has learnt how to crawl and high kneel, but she is unable to walk and do many things a typical 6 year old can do including feed herself.
We have decided that we would like to take her to brainwave in Somerset, there they will assess her and work with Mia and us as a family to provide us with an intense therapy plan to follow which they will then review every 4 months.
This therapy costs £500 for the initial 2 day assessment so I will be running the Great South Run on Sunday 23rd October to help raise money to send Mia to Brainwave. After falling out of love with running over the summer this is going to be a great achievement for me & I am trying my hardest to build up to the 10 miles (this will also mean I can't back out at the last minute!)
So if you have any spare pennies and you would like to donate we will be very grateful!
Thank you xxx
