The Jayden Fund

My friends and family have been raising money throughout my life to pay for treatments and equipment I will need as I grow up.

2007 was a very successful year for me as we managed to raise over £16,000 so thank you very much to everyone who helped make that possible.  We still need to keep raising as my treatments are very expensive and far away from where I live.

The main treatment my family were looking at is a Thera Suit which is an 'astronaut' style suit which works on my motor development skills, balance, endurance, co-ordination and the strengthening of my body.

Unfortunately due to a court hearing in October 2008 I lost out on the chance to go to a school for Conductive Education which would have helped me build up and strengthen my body.  This would have meant I could have got into my Thera Suit a lot quicker.  Therefore my family and friends need to keep raising money to afford block bookings so I can go to Bedfordshire for week long sessions as well as going to America for Dolphin Therapy and buying equipment for me.

Dolphin Therapy - since the 1970's, several research programs around the world have centered their attentions on the dolphin's ability to help children with Cerebral Palsy.  The results of these studies show clearly that Dolphin Therapy can increase the communication skills and learning capabilities, as well as accelerate the vocal and physical development of children suffering with the same condition as me!
