My Story

Finally there is a tough mudder close enough for Ben to be able to get involved

so we thought to make it abit more of a challenge for him and get him spurred on, he is doing it all in the sis of charity and this charity is especially close to our hearts, as most of you know we had a very tough time durning our delivery with Elsa and as a result of that she was left with a brachial plexus injury, also know as erbs palsy, we knew nothing about this injury or what it meant (other than at the time Elsa had no movement in her right arm) and doctors told us it would get better with Physio, but that wasn’t to be the case so I took to the web looking for more info and come across the erbs palsy group, an amazing group of people who all understood and had all the help support and advice, they are all parents or older erblings who could give me there stories and all the information about Elsas injury that no-one else had, it was a very dark time in our lives and we really struggled (especially with the lack of info from the doctors) but with the help and support of this amazing group of people I learnt to have hope for Elsas future and despite her injury she could still go on to lead a happy and “normal” life and be able to do anything she wanted in her life, they don’t get enough credit and there still needs to be a lot more information put out there to make more people aware of erbs palsy even amoung doctors and midwives and one step at a time that is what they are trying to do

so please help my sponsoring whatever you can to support this amazing group and the wonderful work they do
