Eli Montgomery

Our little boy began a home based therapy programme only 6months ago when he was completely immobile...Eli is now beginning to crawl!! We are fundraising to go to Philadelphia in the States to learn the next part of Eli's therapy that will ultimately get him walking.

It is a programme designed by the team at the 'Institutes of Achievement in Human Potential' and founded by Glenn Doman.

It avoids conventional methods that are commonly used to help kids diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy that often involve Botox injections and many operations to change the function of there body. We want to avoid these at all costs where possible and know that we can do this through this programme.

Our goal is to see Eli walking in three years... We attended a series of lectures in Melbourne recently and met with families who have either completed the three year course or who are part of the programme at present. The results spoke for themselves and confirmed to Dylan and I that this was the programme we need to help get Eli walking.

As this programme is over three years and each six months we need to go to Philadelphia we will only continue to do the programme and fundraising if we see and get the results. But we believe we will.

The money raised will be used specifically to pay for Dylan, Eli and my flights, accomodation, food, travel to and from the treatment centre and the cost of the five day medical examination and training needed to complete the programme at home.

This programme treats the brain injury not the symptoms so Dylan and I will be taught the therapies to get Eli's brain working and functioning better to help it learn to recreate the pathways. We know that the 'Brain Grows By Use' so we are positive that we will begin to see results quite quickly.

We will update this page and Eli's Facebook page to document his progress.

We thank you in advance for your support.

Kind regards

Dylan and Rochelle
