In summer 2020, the LTCFC were contacted by the parents of a young lad by the name of Ziyon who was born with Diplegic Cerebral Palsy, a disability characterized by frequent spasms which affects the joints and tensing of the leg muscles reducing the overall range of motion. Ziyon’s parents climbed Mount Snowdon in order to raise funds for a specialised custom-built Tomcat trike to aid his mobility, and along with a donation from our charity, they were able to go ahead with the purchase of the trike and have enough funds to buy some parallel walking bars too.

Nearly two years on and our Honorary Secretary Malcolm Shaffron has received an update from Ziyon’s family and we are pleased to say that Ziyon is up and walking, and even able to climb the stairs. We are so pleased to see how much progress Ziyon has made, and we continue to wish him well and look forward to future updates.
