I am taking part in Walk/Run For Sense because they believe that no one should be isolated, left out or unable to fulfil their potential. I'll be lacing up my trainers for Sense during February, and any support would be very appreciated as we say thank you to them for all the support they have given to our family.

Páuric was born premature and within days he had severe bilateral bleeds on his brain, grades 3 and 4 which left him with a diagnosis of Hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain).

Hydrocephalus is an acquired brain injury which affects each person differently and has a wide range of effects on the person. For Páuric, he required a shunt to be fitted on his brain to drain the excess fluid, he was then diagnosed with Developmental Delay and Cerebral Palsy. The fluid also damaged one of his optical nerves which lead to a diagnosis of 6th Nerve Palsy and Amblyopia and we are also still awaiting a further visual diagnosis of hyperplasia.

Páuric has taken all this in his stride, attending a range of specialists and therapists, and it was common for him to have 5 appointments across 3 hospitals in the one week, thankfully these have eased some and he is now enjoying pre-school.

Now that both boys are at school, I have a few hours to myself so I thought I would put it to good use, to thank Sense for the massive contribution they have made to Páuric's development and the opportunities they have also provided to us as a family. I will post some of the great work they have done over the month of February and I hope this event will bring awareness to anyone out there who would benefit from this great organisation.

Now its time for me to get moving!!!

And thank you!!
