Family aidgood cause

Little Summer Finlay has Spina-Bifida and Hydrocephalus. She is a full time wheelchair user, as her spina bifida has caused her to be paralysed from the chest down.

Now mum Ann-Marie, dad Shaun and her two brothers Daniel and Lee, aim to take part in Parallel London.

It is the worlds first fully inclusive Fun Push/Run and allows everyone to participate regardless of disability or equipment needed. It takes place on September 4 at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Summer will be completing the 5k in her wheelchair with her family alongside her.

Shaun said: “Charity For Kids paid for Summer’s wheelchair after the NHS said no. They have also since paid for her to receive a specialist Trike.

You can get more information on Summer via her Facebook page: Www.facebook.com/summers.story1 and learn about the event Parallel London and www.parallellondon.com/the-event-1
