Supporter of the charity Marc says: “Nearly three years ago, Sebastian Wenn was born to doting parents (and my dear friends) Ann and Byron. When Sebbie was developing, it became very apparent that, despite his mischievous twinkle and wicked sense of humour, he was making less progress with speech and movement than other children of his age. After being officially diagnosed with spastic quadriplegia, the most severe form of cerebral palsy, it has become only too clear that the ongoing challenges and difficulties faced by both Sebbie and his parents are huge. Having witnessed this first hand through my courageous friend, I feel I can say with some surety how physically demanding, emotionally exhausting and at some times deeply isolating caring for a child with cerebral palsy can be. The Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity is so important to parents like Ann and Byron and invaluable to children like Sebbie because it provides sessions to help with education and development, it raises awareness of cerebral palsy and most importantly it offers support, respite and a network and community for carers. The Dame Vera Lynn Children’s a wonderful and essential charity so please help children like our glorious Sebbie by donating as generously as you can. If you would like to sponsor me and help the charity please go Donate Here....
