Peter’s daughter, Elara, has cerebral palsy and has used Scope’s Sleep Service. Peter wanted to help raise awareness and money for Scope so he organised a fundraising event.
Read more of Peter's brilliant story (and see the before and after photos!) on the Scope blog. Do you enjoy fundraising? We'd love to hear your own experiences!
My wife visited one of Scope’s sleep clinics. We found it useful and being there confirmed we were doing the right things to get Elara to sleep and we now know what Elara needs. The service was easy to access and was only down the road from us. We gave them a call and luckily there was an available appointment on the day. These services are so vital to helping parents in the same position as us.
A friend of mine did a head shave for charity a few years back and I thought it would be a great event as people always want to see their friend or colleague do something daft. So, I wanted to help raise awareness and money for Scope.
My target was £250. I was only meant to do a head shave, but I mentioned in passing to one of my colleagues asking how much it would take to get sponsored to shave the beard off.
