Harry’s footsteps challenge

 

Harry FlynnSeven-year old Harry recently attended his second three-week session at Footsteps. It appears that this alone wasn’t a big enough challenge as Harry decided to use his session to do a sponsored walk and raise money for HABIT, a charity set up to fund physiotherapy for Harry and other children in the future.

He counted all the steps which he took on the treadmill while in the ‘Spider’, and his friends and family pledged him money per step. At the end of the three weeks, Harry achieved an incredible 1891 steps and the money is still coming in.

Harry’s mum Hilary says: “It has not only motivated him to really work hard right at that point of the daily session when he has reached his limit, but has also helped to set us well on our way to raising the money for his next session later in the year. Harry’s sponsored walk has been the first event of what we hope will be many to continually raise funds to pay for at least two sessions a year and if the fundraising goes well we hope to be able to provide grants for equipment to other children in our locality with brain injuries.”

WELL DONE HARRY!
