Sport Relief Mile

[Tori]

it was alright, a bit hot, and i was in A, so i wonder what it was like later! i swear it was longer than a mile but oh well!

[Abbie]

I did do it but i just want to say well done to everyone who did.

[Kim]

I have to pay a pound and do it at school. Not looking forward to it, it will take forever and make me look like a laughing stock because I have cerebal palsy.

My daughter had to pay a pound and do it at school parents were allowed to do it too so i payed a pound and did it with her..

[Kim]

I refused to do the mile and my parents were supportive of that.

Cerebral palsy is a combination of chronic conditions affecting muscle coordination and body movement and is caused by damage to certain areas of the brain usually occurring in the early stages of life or during development of the fetus. Therefore, it is an aftereffect of damage to motor areas in the brain controlling movement or posture rather than damage to individual muscles.

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive condition; however, certain other side effects such as muscle spasticity can develop at later stages and can get progressively worse or improve depending on the specifics of person's condition. Cerebral palsy is not a disease and therefore can not be communicated from one person to another.

Some of the following effects of cerebral palsy can occur depending on the particular area of the brain that has been affected:

• involuntary movement
  speech impairment
  seizures
  mental retardation
  bladder and bowel control
  muscle spasticity
  difficulties in feeding or swallowing
  learning disabilities
  impairment of sight or hearing
  abnormal sensation and perception

A boy at college had it and me and my mate became mates with him and he told me once that he used to be able to walk fine with it but he had some kind of operation and suddenly he lost the use of his legs and is now stuck in a wheel chair with mindless people taking the mick, before the operation no one ever knew he had anything wrong with him but now all he gets is stick

He must get the stick real bad, I get enough of it and the only difficulties I've got because of it are in swallowing and muscle spasticity.
