ONE GIANT LEAP FOR DANNY LITTLE

09 September 2008

.

Danny   Walker  is jumping for joy on his new trampoline. The six-year-old, who suffers from cerebral palsy, is the latest youngster to benefit from the Chronicle’s  Sunshine  Fund.

The £110 trampoline will improve  Danny ’s fitness and allow him to play in the garden with his pals in Gateshead town centre. His learning support officer, who is also a trampoline coach, recommended the equipment.

Danny , who lives with his mum and dad, who also has cerebral palsy, received a tricycle from the  Sunshine  Fund last year. The fund makes a massive difference to the lives of disabled and seriously-ill children in the North East through the provision of essential equipment, learning aids and custom-built apparatus.

It is able to provide grants through the fundraising efforts of Chronicle readers and the support of many local businesses.
