The Life of Riley
This website is dedicated to the celebration of the life of a wonderful little boy named Riley.
Riley was born on 1 December 2003. His birth was traumatic in that he very nearly died due to complications, but the staff at the Special Care Baby Unit managed to save his life, although he suffered brain damage as a result of starvation of oxygen. This resulted in Riley suffering from severe cerebral palsy that affects all of his limbs and also affects his eating and digestive systems.
Riley is, however, a very happy chap (as the photos in the Gallery show) and enjoys each day to the full. For this reason, his parents and supporters are committed to continue to celebrate The Life of Riley and to do everything they can to ensure that other children with similar afflictions can get as much out of life as Riley does.
There are many charities that provide incredible support and services to families such as Riley’s and this site is initially designed as a vehicle to help these good causes and will ultimately promote an understanding of the issues associated with brain injuries.
The long term intention of the Life of Riley website is to offer a central focal point for people facing challenges relating to brain traumas for the first time, as well as creating an environment where people can share their worries, concerns and indeed their success stories.
That said, we do have a more immediate term aim, which is to raise enough money to send Riley to Germany to undergo some stem cell treatment, which we hope will be able to improve his quality of life by helping him reach some targets such as sitting in his chair comfortably and playing without assistance.
This website is intended to help support a community of
people who face similar challenges and are
prepared to help others.
