Class R Mums Walk for Martha

A big thank you to all the Mums from Class R at St Francis who walked from Ascot to Windsor (in the pouring rain) to raise an amazing amount of money for Martha. Also a big thank you to all those who supported them from St Francis school and church.

The total amount raised from the Class R sponsored Walk was £1272 - a fantastic amount that will go towards Martha's intensive physiotherapy.

 

Starburst Go Tricycle-tastic for Martha

The local Starburst charity (http://www.starburst-foundation.org.uk/charity/) have very kindly provided Martha with a new tricycle to replace her old one that she has now grown out of.

As Martha can't stand or walk independently, a tricycle is the only real way for Martha to exercise (she is pushed along with a guide pole which also steers the trike) with her legs going round on the peddles. A tricycle also helps Martha with her hip problems by exercising her hip joints in a controlled way - hopefully strengthening her joints. Martha loves being out and about on her tricycle.
