Hi, my name is Annie12!

Hi, I'm now a SAHM to a 3 year old boy with (fairly mild) CP and a daughter who has just turned 2 with microcephaly and severe CP. She was also prem. I'm now starting to agree to help and talk about the struggles. My son's key worker suggested I use SCOPE as she looked after a little boy who was helped by them. She is also running the London Marathon for SCOPE next year and is doing lots of fundraising and awareness!

Hi Annie, I'm sure you'll be able to find support and advice from people in similar circumstances here! It's good you are more willing to open up because, as the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved! xx

Thank you 'youngcareroverhere' for your lovely comment that I've only just found! I think young carers are amazing! X
