  • May

    Massive thank you's to Rebecca, Dave and Jon for completing their skydive's for Cieran on May 5th - you are stars!

    On 24th May Cieran turned 7! We can't believe where the years have gone and are truly grateful to have our precious boy. He had a fantastic birthday weekend - which included a party for all his friends and family and then trip to the beach to enjoy the loevly weather.

    Cieran is back over to Leeds on 28th May to see Paul Leishman - fingers crossed we will be collecting something very special for Cieran - the secret will soon be revealed.


  • Well we have had a busy few months arranging more fundraising events for this year - which you can find updates on in the Fundraising section!

    On Mothers Day we were at this years Meningitis Trust Family Day, Worseley Country Club - where Cieran got to spend time with other brave children like him. We had loads of fun and shared in some very special moments, one of which included setting off balloons thanks to the local Fire Service.


  • On 13th February we made a final visit to The London Prosthetic Clinic in Leeds to collect Cieran's new legs (see picture in Photo's!). Cieran will need to train his legs to wearing his new limbs, which can only be achieved by wearing them each day for a few hours, until his hips have strengthened, then there will be no stopping him. Thank you again to all the donations and help so far - it doesn't end here! Cieran still needs legs for the future - if you wsh to help please see our latest events in Fundraising x


  • UPDATE: We have been making weekly visits to see Cieran's Limb Specialist in Leeds since 9th January to have changes made to his new legs. However after seeing Cieran's doctor on 19th January at Alder Hey, we decided to make a couple more changes due to a turn in Cieran's right leg (this is due to damage caused by the Meningitis and will possibly result in a major operation later this year - will keep you posted!). A further cast has been taken of Cieran's right leg and a new socket has been made - so we are back to Leeds on 30th January for one final test!


  • Cieran was in Leeds on 5th December to collect his new liners and to have a scanned image taken of both his legs - this will give perfect measurements for the sockets for his new legs. He is back to see his Prosthetic Specialist on 19th December to test the new sockets for his legs - if all goes well with these we will collect his new legs on 9th January - without so many fantastic people helping us out this would not be possible!!
