Movement for Archie | Raising funds for Cerebral Palsy physical therapy costs so Archie can move like you too

Kerikeri, Northland

Archie is a one year old, Kerikeri local who, after a long labour was born not breathing with no heart rate. He was worked on for twenty minutes before he was successfully intubated. The time without oxygen caused significant injury to Archie's brain.

There is so much uncertainty around what Archie will and won't be able to do, but what we know for sure is that this boy is a warrior. He is full of determination and courage, he brings his family and those around him unparalleled joy.

However, we do know that Archie is likely to have Cerebral Palsy, and physical therapy in the first few years of his life is critical for him to meet movement milestones like crawling and walking. Sadly, physical therapy is not currently funded.

All funds raised from #movementforarchie will go towards physical therapy costs. This wee boy wants to walk, he will walk and we would love for you to join us in helping him get there.

Its really hard to express the degree, but we are so very grateful to you all (many complete strangers to our family) for the generoisty you have shown in supporting our wee warrior - thank you, thank you, thank you!

On Friday we head to Rotorua to start the next physical therapy intensive with the Centre of Movement 3 hours a day for 3 weeks. Athlete Archie is tapering this week before what will be a big effort for the wee unit! Chilling in the garden, hanging with his besties the chickens.
