Fun day to help little Tomas
Tomas is three-and-a-half years old and was born with cerebral palsy. He is also blind and has been diagnosed with West syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy.
As well as the physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and touch, hearing and speech stimulation sessions he attends every week, Tomas has a variety of medical appointments.
He requires regular EEG tests to monitor his brain activity, as well as appointments with ophthalmologists, neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, speech therapists and audiologists .
A panel assessment classified him as 82 per cent disabled, with the three main areas of concern being his blindness, his lack of balance and co-ordination which prevents him from walking unaided, and his inability to communicate clearly via speech.
Tomas has made great progress over the last year and is now able to walk with the aid of a walker, to see objects within one foot on his right side and he is beginning to try and say a few words.
Despite the many obstacles, Tomas wants to learn and is developing in areas that were said to have been hopeless.
He is a happy and positive child and his parents Jon and Jill Leighton constantly seek out other specialist experience, which may help Tomas to reach his full potential. A fun day and race night is being held to raise funds to help this little boy on Saturday June 21, at La Cortijera, in La Cala de Mijas (near to Streets of London and Tex Mex Restaurant) starting at 3pm.
There will be a bouncy castle, clowns and face painting, an auction by Maurice Boland, live music with the band Monkey Tennis, a member of the Rat Pack will be singing, Irish Dancers, a BBQ and hot dog stall, a tombola, self defence display, raffle for a gallon of whisky, stalls selling items from clothing, homemade cakes and pies to jewellery, a horse racing evening run by the La Cala branch of the Lions’ Club and much more.
Prizes include return flights to UK and Ireland, overnight stays at two retreats, an indulgence day at a spa, car hire, meals for two, Tottenham signed football shirt, a signed Marbella shirt, a year’s subscription to Helicopter Sanitarios and much more.
If you would like to support the cause and help further with any raffle prizes, please contact Graham on 662 266 938 or graham.sussex@yahoo.co.uk Thomas’ parents Jon and Jill Leighton can be contacted at tomasjonathan@hotmail.co.uk
