Cerebra help children and their families who have brain related conditions, help from you can do so much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog I am Megan! Learning disabilities are a very heartfelt thing for me, not many people are aware of what a learning disability is Cerebra are a charity that know the ins and outs of learning disabilities. They help families who have children with Learning disabilities to understand and cope with their situation. Cerebra have been a massive help personally to me, in my blog you will understand more about learning disabilities and the story of Jacob, my younger brother, pictured below hopefully it will entice you to find out more and support this life changing charity.

Jacob is 7 years old and takes tablets daily because of his learning disabilities. He struggles to do simple things such as get to sleep at night. Cerebra helped out my family by sending out a sleep therapist to help Jacob get into a routine that would help his body shut down. Now Jacob gets a great night sleep and copes a lot better. The link below takes you to the cerebra home page where you can find out more about learning disabilities and ways to donate.
