Hi I'm Caeden Thomson, I'm 6 with CP and I'm going to walk up BEN NEVIS!

Hi I am a 6 year old boy with Cerebral Palsy,
My mum is typing, because she can type faster than me! lol!
I was born 12 weeks premature and had a lot of problems. I was in and out of the hospital a lot. In my life, I have been really lucky to have had as much help and support I have had - that I now want to give back. I am raising £8,000 to give to local physiotherapy, children's services, my local hospital, and of course SCOPE.
So to raise the money I told my mum and dad, that I want to challenge myself to walk up the highest mountain in the British isles - BEN NEVIS. We are doing it- this May.
I have been in a session of serial casting before I have Botox at the end of the month - which I am really looking forward to. I am training as much as possible, as I would usually use my walking frame - but I am determined not to use it, to make sure I go all the way up to the top of the Nev and back down again:)
Please take a look at my YouTube channel and JustGiving pages, where you can like, share, subscribe and donate.
Simply just sharing to your family and friends will help me achieve my goal to give back.
I have visited and been on our local radio, I have been in papers - and next week the BBC are coming out to film me too! You can google my name and see lots about me!
Please do have a look at my pages.

Hi,
Clearly - I am new to the site and didn't know how to reply! lol!
Yes I would love to - I've tried calling them - but no answer - I am able to take a telephone all today or tomorrow - I want to get something in place really before the BBC come out...
