The Woody Fund


Our beautuful Woody was born in 2011 at 27 weeks weighing jus 2lb 7oz.  Following a routine heart operation at just 3 weeks old, Woody's brain was starved of oxygen for a period of time which has resulted in irreversable brain damage.  This has severely affected him and he has now been diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegia Cerebral Palsy and a Visual Impairment.



Woody is now 4 years old and an absolute super star!! However, he requires constant 1-1 support to access all aspects of daily life.  He is unable to sit, stand, walk and has limited communication.  This charity has been set up to help us buy specialised equipment and therapies which are not funded by the NHS which will help Woody to maximise his potential and allow him to gain independence.  

LECKEY INNOWALK TRIAL


We recently went for a trial for the Leckey Innowalk which is a fantastic piece of equipment. The main main aims for the Innowalk are to give Woody mobile weight bearing which is required for good hip formation, to improve his leg strength and to improve his tone in his legs as well as to give him the regular exercise required for optimum health.  This is not currently funded by the NHS and something that we passionately feel will improve Woody's strength and limit the chances of any long term health problems.  Unfortunately it comes with an enormous price tag which is why we have decided set up this charity page to give Woody what he deserves!
