William's Story
William is 14 years old and has Myotubular Myopathy and Scoliosis which is a rare muscle condition that causes severe muscle weakness and affects his ability to move and breathe on his own.
William has been supported by Charlton Farm for 12 years, and his mum Adele recently took on CHSW’s 300,000 Steps in March challenge to help raise vital funds for the charity which supports so many families like theirs.
With our busy life, sometimes not being able to leave the house, completing 10,000 steps per day has been a challenge but those who know us, know the support that the staff at Charlton Farm have given us over the years and how much this place means to us.
In addition to taking on the challenge, Adele has also been sharing regular updates on her Facebook page. These updates were not only about reaching her step goals, but also to raise awareness about life with a child who has a life-limiting illness, what a typical day looks like for William.
