The latest charity to benefit from Airinmar fundraising is Tree of Hope, a charity whose goal it is to transform the health of sick and disabled children. In particular, our donation has been to contribute to the fundraising for a local boy called Dawson.
Dawson has Dystonic Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy and his family are fundraising for surgery and post-op recovery. Dawson has a long road to being totally independent, walking unaided and being able to move more freely. Through the Tree of Hope charity, Dawson’s family are raising money for a surgical procedure called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) and the associated post-surgery recovery. SDR is not a cure for Cerebral Palsy, but the operation intends to improve quality of life by reducing the muscle stiffness.
More information about Dawson and his journey can be found here.
Our sponsorship activity to achieve our fundraising target was our entry into the 80 mile long-haul route of the Farnborough Flyer 2022 cycling event, which took place on Sunday 18th September. This comprised 80 miles and over 4,000ft of climbing in the Hampshire countryside. A big thank you to everyone who sponsored, it’s greatly appreciated.
