Busy weekend - but loads of fun

This weekend saw the quiz night for Daniel. We really could not have done this without the help and support of our friends Jayne, Spencer, Lynn, Adey and Lisa. Spencer was quiz master for the night and did an amazing job. All the people who attended seemed to have a great night and we were pleased to see everyone enjoying themselves. We had so many friends who came and supported Daniel on the night and would like to thank you all. The night raised just under £800 with a raffle, and heads and tails game arranged by Adey!
Today we have again been very busy with the Great Eastern Run - fun run that is! We have a few people who were kindly running the full half marathon for Daniel's fund and so wanted to show our support for them. Adrian pushed Daniel most of the way in his wheelchair whilst mum and Adam ran by their side. Towards the end we arranged for our friend Jayne to meet us to swap Daniel onto his frame. He proudly walked tall and strong over the finish line to receive his medal! He then walked with his frame all the way back to the car which was a 15 minute walk. We have been amazed over the past 2 weeks at the sudden strength and stamina that Daniel has - which wasn't there at all before the operation. It seems by taking away the spasticity Daniel is much less tired and can just get on with his life!

  1. Hi
    Its so nice to read how much this operation has done for Daniel.
    Sebastian has asked several times if we could go to UK, so thats the plan for next summer.
    So we hope it will be possible to meet you and se with our own eyes how well Daniel is doing.
    Please tell hello to Adam from Daniel.
    Love
