Your donation could make double the difference by supporting children like Bobby this Christmas.
When Bobby was six months old, his parents noticed he wasn’t putting on weight on his legs. Shortly afterwards, he was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 2.
“His muscles were wasting away while he wasn’t on treatment,” Bobby’s mum told us. “And we didn’t know! We blamed ourselves, so it was a very hard time.
“We just didn’t know what sort of life Bobby would have – that was the scary part.”
Bobby got his Wizzybug when he was two. Without it, he would still be waiting for his NHS wheelchair today.
“Once he started driving Wizzybug, there was no stopping him,” Bobby’s dad told us. “There was no fear in him – he was so happy.”
“We credit Wizzybug massively,” his parents said. “Without it, I don’t know where Bobby would be – physically, socially or emotionally.”
In 2022, Harry’s mum wished the family could spend precious time together at home but, instead, they had to spend it in hospital with a very poorly Harry.
She shared: “I wished and prayed for Harry to pull through – nothing else mattered. Thankfully he did recover, and he came back stronger than ever! In March 2023, we picked up his Wizzybug.
“Harry spent last year working on many things, including his driving skills, and by Christmas, he was able to move around independently. We are so proud of how far he has come!”
