Today was another physio session with Mia.
Watching Brodie work through physiotherapy will never get easier for me as his mum. Every stretch, every movement, every attempt is his little body fighting against muscles that constantly want to tighten and pull him backwards. What people don’t see is the pain behind those moments.
Brodie doesn’t get to move freely like most children his age. His body resists him every single day. Physio isn’t just an appointment for us — it’s a fight. A fight to keep his muscles from tightening more. A fight to give him comfort. A fight to give him the chance to move, play and experience the world a little easier.
And he tries so hard. Even when it hurts. Even when his body is tired. Even when it would be easier to stop.
I see the tears, the frustration, the exhaustion… but I also see his strength. Strength most adults would struggle to carry.
Mia works so gently and patiently with him, helping his body stretch and release, helping him keep fighting against something he never asked for.
Some days it’s heartbreaking to watch. But every stretch, every effort, every tiny bit of progress matters more than people could ever understand.
My brave boy fights battles with his own body every single day… and I couldn’t be prouder of him.

Living with cerebral palsy is not just about diagnoses, therapies, or hospital appointments.
It’s about fighting battles every single day that most people never see.
It’s the physical exhaustion.
The emotional weight.
The constant planning, adapting, advocating, explaining.
And then there’s the financial strain — the part that people are often most uncomfortable talking about, but it’s real and it’s relentless.
Specialist equipment, private therapies, travel, adaptations, activities… things that other children can do with ease, without a second thought, often come with a price tag we simply can’t meet alone.
So we fundraise.
Not because we want to, but because we have to.
Because without it, our children miss out — not on luxuries, but on opportunities, experiences, and chances to thrive.
What hurts the most is how hard it is to be seen.
Unless you’re a celebrity, unless your story goes viral, unless you shout louder than feels comfortable — support can feel just out of reach.
Families like ours are everywhere, quietly struggling, quietly pushing on, quietly doing everything we can.
This isn’t a pity post.
It’s a reality check.
Cerebral palsy doesn’t take days off.
Parents don’t get breaks from worrying.
And our children deserve the same chances as everyone else — not because of sympathy, but because of fairness.
If you’ve ever shared a fundraiser, listened, donated, or simply tried to understand — thank you.
It matters more than you’ll ever know. 🤍

This is Luca's story. Luca lives with cerebral palsy, but that’s never slowed down his love for Welsh rugby.
