"I am Charlie's mum, and he is one of over 14,500 members supported by the charity Shine.

Although we've been fortunate to need Shine primarily for early advice and support, I'm aware of the invaluable services they provide to families dealing with more severe cases of spina bifida and hydrocephalus. I can’t imagine how we would have navigated the diagnosis and first few months of Charlie's life without Shine!

Your donation or fundraiser can help Shine continue to give support to those who need it, just like us. Please support Shine this Festive Season to help them provide vital support to even more people facing the challenges of living spina bifida and hydrocephalus."
