Yorkshire 3 Peaks team - you raised £2552.60 in sponsorship, which we handed over to Wendy in class this morning, shown here with two members of the 32 strong challenge team, Shan and Judith. The money will be spent on Wendy's 15 year old daughter, Natasha, who has a rare genetic condition called Angelman Syndrome. Natasha has learning difficulties, no speech and mobility, balance & co-ordination problems. Life can be a struggle and very frustrating for her. Wendy plans to buy a range of new equipment for Natasha with the sponsor money, as suggested by a specialist occupational therapist, including an iPad with communication software which with a lot of time and effort can give Natasha a voice and allow her to participate in life more fully.
We'll keep you up to date with the new equipment so hopefully you can see it in use. In the mean time, thank you so much to all that trained hard to complete the Yorkshire 3 Peak Challenge for Natasha - your blisters, aching legs and sunburn will make a huge difference to a lovely young lady with a very challenging life. Fantastic work 'Wholehearted Y3P team' - you're all very amazing.
