Story
Benji has loved Cassandra Mansfield since the day we went to visit her in Edinburgh Roayl Infirmary at less than a day old. Cassie is now 4 years old and her amazing family are raising funds to make their house her home. Cassie is a beautiful, cheeky, super brave wee lassie with a contagious smile, she also has CHARGE Syndrome amongst a variety of other medical issues.
Benji has asked, everyday since January, if he could walk over the Forth Road Bridge (and back) to help raise money for his friend and raise awareness of CHARGE Syndrome. Now he's got permission from us and Cassie's Mum and Dad, he's a boy on a mission! Beware he's got a sponsorship form and big puppy eyes he's not afraid to use!
The money raised will be used to fund the installation of ramps, a lift, new doors and a ceiling track hoist system, enabling Cassie to have much easier access to all areas of the house and gardens. Further details of the plans can be seen here in her own funding page: https://www.gofundme.com/3e69qccc?viewupdates=1&utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=cta_button&utm_campaign=upd_n
So please donate ladies and gents, Benji will be completing his walk on 22nd May with his family (as long as there's not a storm or bridge closure!) it's a full 5km, which is a tiny distance in comparison to how far Cassie has come! Xx
