Lucy is my 8 year old daughter who has spina bifida. Lucy can't walk and uses a wheelchair full time.
Part of Lucys therapy involves standing daily. Standing allows her bones to remain strong, prevents muscles contractures, helps improve Bowel and bladder function, improves posture and allows for greater interaction with peers as child is at similar height.
Lucy currently has a static standing frame, the dynamic stander would allow her the freedom of moving around whilst gaining all of the benefits of standing upright.
These standing frames are only available for private purchase in our area (not provided by the NHS).
Lucy has had one of these dynamic standing frames in the past which we fundraised for in 2010/2011 - sadly she has now outgrown this and needs the next size up.
Id like to raise enough money to purchase the size 2 stander for Lucy.
