Walk4Matt 2010 and Hugo Mouse

Lewis has had a good few days and has been super smiley and happy. He's spent some time on his eye computer at home which he loves and I really would encourage you to sponsor this fundraising event to help raise money for the charity that loans Lewis' his eye computer. The computer costs around £20,000 to buy so being able to borrow one is really a massive advantage for children like Lew .. so please do sponsor http://www.walk4matt.org/ and help to raise money for this very worthy cause!

Also, another website we would urge you to visit. Sarah Kidd approached us a little while ago asking if Lewis would like a Hugo Mouse and book. Hugo is a handmade soft toy mouse with his very own embroidered 'special words'. He also has his very own hospital identity bracelet so that he doesnt get lost! The idea of Hugo is to go with a poorly child to the doctors / hospital / everywhere really! to keep the child company and to make the experience less harrowing. Hugo comes complete with a little book of photos of the child with family members and friends so the child can have some familiar faces to look at and also doctors and nurses can interract with the child and Hugo by looking at the book. Lewis loves his Hugo and his little book and Hugo does go pretty much everywhere with Lew. You can find out more about Hugo (and see some photos of Lew!) on Hugo's website http://www.wix.com/hugoshope/Hugo.
