Ballymena family urges others to ‘Jingle All the Way’
A Ballymena boy and his mum are calling on people to join the Children’s Hospice ‘Jingle All the Way’ festive fundraising campaign.
Eight-year-old Sam McBride, who avails of the services at Northern Ireland Children Hospice, and his mum Elaine, have taken part in the campaign since it started.
Elaine said: “Sam has a rare form of epilepsy called Lennox Gastaut Syndrome which means medication will have little effect on seizures that are ever-changing and occur daily. Sam also has cerebral palsy and, although he can walk with support, his visual impairment causes problems. The Children’s Hospice has proved to be a sanctuary for our family and is a place where Sam can come and have fun, allowing us to relax and recharge.
“We are in the process of planning a Jingle virtual Craft Fair and a Concert.”
