Daniel Ralph raises £3,576 and counting…

April 26, 2017 By ss

Congratulations to Daniel Ralph for his heroic effort in completing the Virgin Money London Marathon and raising a spectacular £3,576 for JSF.

This was an incredible challenge for Daniel.  Not only was it his first ever marathon but also, after his knee gave out after 2 miles,  he refused to give up and somehow managed to drag himself along the next 24 miles to reach the finishing line.

But he did it, and for that he really deserves that medal and even more support – there is still time to sponsor Daniel.

Also a very special thanks to Phillip Anthony and staff of Co-Operative Systems who made a significant donation to sponsor Daniel and help him meet his target.

Thank you Daniel and thank you to everyone who sponsored him.

Daniel is running the London Marathon to help raise funds for George

February 18, 2017 By ss

Daniel Ralph’s  training is coming along well, but he has a long way to go!!

This is Daniel’s first ever marathon and it is a tough challenge. He has agreed to raise a minimum of £3,000 for the Janki Saye Foundation and he really needs your support and encouragement to achieve his target.

Please sponsor Daniel and help him to raise the money needed to help George:

George is 11 years old. He has cerebral palsy, severe learning difficulties and epilepsy. He is wheelchair bound, unable to talk and relies on his mother for his basic everyday needs.

At his school, 3 days a week., George has access to an EyeGaze system with skills development software. With this system, he uses his eyes to control the activities. Staff have found that he really enjoys these sessions.

George’s family are very keen to for him to be able to practice these activities at home so that he can advance his learning and also use the EyeGaze system to  communicate with them.

This technology costs £3,300.

More grants awarded

December 8, 2016 By ss

We have recently awarded grants to Robyn (chromosome duplication and spina bifida), Ethan (autism and global developmental delay) and David (Angelman Syndrome).

Robyn is 18 years old. She has Mosaic duplication (chromosome duplication) and spina bifida. She is wheelchair bound and has no functional verbal communication. At school she was given the use of an iPad with the Prologuo2go communication application. This enabled her to do her school work and it also supported her social interaction.   As she was about to leave school and transition into a day care facility, her mother and teachers were very concerned that, without the iPad, she will no longer be able to communicate effectively. This would impact her ability to become more independent.   Robyn was awarded a grant of £600 to fund the iPad and the Prologuo2go app.

Ethan is 5 years old. He has global developmental delay and autistic spectrum disorder.   He relies on an adult for all of his basic needs and, as he is still unable to express himself verbally, he communicates his needs by leading an adult by the hand.  He is at a special severe learning difficulties school where they have been encouraging him to communicate using an iPad with the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). They feel it would help Ethan’s development enormously if he were to have an iPad with PECS at home as it would help him communicate and interact with his family. Ethan was awarded a grant of £420 to fund an iPad.

David is 8 years old. He has Angelman Syndrome, epilepsy, hyperactivity and sleep disorder. He is  completely non-verbal and, because he cannot communicate his needs, he becomes frustrated which leads to him engaging in harmful activities such as hitting himself on his legs. His speech and language therapists have recommended the use of the Prologuo2go communication app to help David make himself understood and to give him a voice, both at home and in the community. David was awarded a grant of £200 to fund the Prologuo2go app.
