Living With Cerebal Palsy

Welcome to our site, the reason behind this site is I have Cerebral Palsy and Neuromuscular Scoliosis. Over the last couple of years, I have been researching Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis, and I struggled to find a lot of information about the links between Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis. As a result, I have decided to create my own website so that I can share my own experiences of Living with Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis.

Each member receives an Emblem that is engraved with the wearer’s main medical condition(s) or vital details, a personal ID number and a 24 hour emergency telephone number that can access their details from anywhere in the world in over 100 languages.

Robert Softley Pages

I've been 'on the web' for over six years now and have been using my design and programming skills in my work for various companies and voluntary organisations. I thought that my skill's must've improved since I created my first personal site, The Ramp Ahead, so after I got the chance to use www.softley.co.uk, I pulled out all the stops and starting putting together the site you now see before your eyes. My plan is to keep the site as flexible as possible so that while the subjects I cover are deep and interesting enough to keep you coming back, I can still add sections as I go and vary what I rant on about.

SCOPE

Susie's Cerebal Palsy Site

I was born with Cerebral Palsy and I walk around using walking sticks and use a wheelchair for long distances.
I would be very happy to chat to any young people who have the same condition and would like to talk to me, as I would like to share my own experiences and maybe inspire people to do some of the things that I have done
People might think that having a disability is the end of the world for them but I see it as the beginning because I believe that I have the ability the same has everyone else and not the disability that everyone can see on the outside.

Together with his wife - Linda, they gained so much information and experience and fund-raising developed so well, they decided to set up The Alexander Trust, to help other special needs families. It is the aim of the Trust to:
