Jim Hannan runs the Wharf 2 Wharf for Vayla

$326 of $1,000 goal

Given by 5 generous donors in 11 weeks

I'm running the 25km Wharf 2 Wharf from Orapiu to Matiatia in support of a Wombat Chair for Vayla Petersen on January 16th, 2016.

Auckland

Vayla is 6 years old and suffers from Cru di Chat syndrome as well as Bronchiectasis. These conditions together mean Vayla is often hospitalised with chest infections and has trouble meeting developmental milestones.

Vayla loves to be mobile but at times her ill health and tiredness mean she cannot walk or gets very wobbly and has falls.

A Wombat Chair will help to reduce Vayla's reflux and vomiting as well as well as being a safer chair that can’t be tipped over. Being able to wheel Vayla from the table to the bathroom and around the house will conserve Vayla’s energy and save her Mums back.

The chair will cost over $6000 so we need the community to dig deep!

Jim Hannan's involvement (page creator)

I was involved with the Jassy Dean Trust from 2000 onwards as a member of the Fullers team at Matiatia. I saw the magnificent work that the trust did for the children of Waiheke Island.

I have seen many worthy causes that Jassy Dean have taken up and this fundraising for Vayla is something I really feel for.
