Just4Children are trying to raise funds for Leo and Bobby so they can have some extra physiotherapy and equipment to make their lives easier and more independent.
Leo and Bobby are two brothers from Sutton Coldfield who are both in wheelchairs due to quite different conditions.
Leo had a cardiac arrest at five months old due to sepsis. This resulted in a brain injury causing cerebral palsy. He is now ten years old and is unable to sit unaided or walk and is also unable to talk. This, however, does not stop him leading a full and exciting life. Leo is a very social little boy who loves going out into the world and meeting new people. However, he does require a lot of physio and extra equipment to keep him mobile.
Bobby is aged 9 and had a spinal cord injury resulting from a traumatic birth. He is unable to use the lower half of his body. He is also in a wheelchair and he is a very happy, chatty little boy and also extremely sociable just like his big brother. Bobby loves trying all sports and currently plays wheelchair basketball, Para Golf, chair racing and occasionally badminton and hockey. In order for Bobby to continue leading such an active lifestyle he also requires a lot of physio and equipment.
The cost of having a disabled child is astronomical so the cost of having two disabled children is even more so. We are trying to raise money for Just4Children so that we can get the boys some extra physiotherapy and equipment for the home to make their lives easier and for them to be more independent.
