Eight year old Dylan has a rare condition called Periventricular Leucomalacia which means he has conditions such as Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy, and recently had surgery to help ease the pain in his legs and improve the movement in his calves. Because of this, Dylan has been referred to Rebecca House for respite care since 2013.
Inspired by Tobias Weller, who completed a Marathon on his walker up and down his road for 70 days and also has Cerebral Palsy, Dylan has decided to take on the incredible challenge of climbing our Island’s highest peak and only mountain, Snaefell.
The 620m summit is no easy feat, but for Dylan whose Cerebral Palsy effects his ability to walk, the first 414m will be completed around the NSC unaided, and the remaining 206m from The Bungalow.
If you would like to join the whole Island in supporting Dylan in his incredible challenge, you can visit his JustGiving Page www.justgiving.com/dylansday or you can visit him on the day!
The approximate timings for Dylan's Day are:
9.00am - Dylan to walk 414m around the NSC track
10.00am - Dylan's Police escort to the Bungalow
10.30am - Dylan begins to climb Snaefell
12.00pm - Dylan reaches the top
We hope to see you there!
