Lenny decorated a Christmas Tree. Can you find it at the Beverley Minster?
Thu 7th December 2023Lenny has been a busy boy, he recently reached his target to get £16k for his new electric wheelchair. Lenny sends a big "THANK YOU" to everyone.
Lenny has a condition, "Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy" DMD, a life-limiting condition, which will cause his muscles to degenerate and stop functioning. There is currently no cure for this condition.
Lenny will need an electric wheelchair in the near future, and to raise funds he has completed:
• A sponsored trike ride around Roundhay Park
• A sponsored walk in the Peak District - he walked and his mum carried him a short distance.
• A sponsored swim (1 week after he learnt how to swim)
• A cinema event, where we watched Super Mario and the cinema who also did a bake sale for Lenny. His photos were on the big screens like a cinema poster
• A santa walk/push
• A couple of his friends walked the three peaks in a day along with:
• Raffles
• Auctions of watches - Joe Green played a huge part in this @joeycool on Instagram
• Donations
• Bake sales
Lenny and his friends fulfilled another ambition to decorate a Christmas Tree at the Beverley
