Lennie Clay, who will soon turn two, was born at 27 weeks and suffered a lack of oxygen at birth.

When he was four weeks old, Lennie was diagnosed with a brain injury called periventricular leukomalacia before also being diagnosed with quadriplegia cerebral palsy.

He has undergone daily physio work since he was a baby but his mum Candice says she doesn't get enough support from the NHS and that Lennie needs specialist therapies to help him reach independence, such as dynamic movement intervention, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and other treatments.

But due to the NHS not providing the specialist therapies, they have to be paid for privately.

The latest fundraiser that has been organised for Lennie is at Pontefract Squash Club tonight (Thursday) at 7pm and will be an evening of mediumship.
