“Thank you to the staff for helping me be better"
From a few months old, Milo has been under the care of Sheffield Children’s. To say thank you, Milo- with lots of encouragement from his mum Louisa- has signed up for our Chatsworth Walk!
Meet 7-year-old Milo!
From a few months old, Milo has been under the care of Sheffield Children’s. He’s been a regular visitor to our hospital, having had operations to remove his tonsils, widen his windpipe and feeding therapy too.
Since the age of three, he’s been under the care of our Ryegate Centre for Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD), speech therapy and autistic traits.
Milo explains: “Speech therapy helps teach me how to speak and means my teachers can understand me. I get lessons which are more fun than school and I also play games and go on the trampoline with my physiotherapist, Tracy.
"This is much better than school, I have fun with Tracy and get Dr Who colouring pages too!”
To say thank you for his ongoing care, Milo- with lots of encouragement from his mum Louisa- has signed up for our Chatsworth Walk which takes place in less than four weeks’ time.
Starting at 10am on Saturday 11th June, there will also be activities on the day, including the ‘Find Theo’ orienteering challenge.
All participants will receive a fundraising pack and medal too. Participants can choose between a 3km or 10km route and Milo has opted for the first!
Milo adds: “I’d like to say thank you to the staff for helping me be better. I’m doing the walk because my Mum signed me up but I don’t like walking. It will be a big challenge for me so hopefully I’ll get ice-cream at the end.”
He has already raised more than £200- that’s double his initial target for Sheffield Children’s!
Milo continues: “I don’t know how much I’d like to raise, but I hope it does good for the hospital. More than anything, I hope I’m not made to go on another big walk!”
Thank you so much Milo! You can join him on our Chatsworth Walk here!
