A fundraising page has been created for six-year-old Henry from Midsomer Norton, who suffers with cerebral palsy.

The page, set up by Just4Children and powered by JustGiving, says: “Henry is a six-year-old who loves to be independent and make people smile.

“At twelve months old, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy spastic diplegia, which most noticeably affects Henry’s lower limbs, making him unable to stand or walk unaided.

“This has never stopped Henry aiming for better mobility and independence, with his determined nature helping him along the way.

“Just4Children wish to provide Henry with the intensive weekly therapy he needs to continue to build on his current skills – improving his balance, strength and abilities coordination.

“Henry has received weekly therapy since diagnosis, which has become a big part of his life – teaching him the skills to sit, crawl, walk with a walker and, now, learning to walk with just sticks, thus increasing his stamina to go even further.

“These are skills we all take for granted, but Henry has to work extra hard to achieve.

“We are fundraising to provide Henry with continued, regular therapy to build on his existing skills, and, more importantly, to increase his balance, strength and coordination.

“Henry deserves the same independence and mobility as any other six-year-old boy.”
