Help Liam Keep Fighting 💙

I’m raising funds to support Liam Critchett and help him continue the intensive physiotherapy he desperately needs.

Liam has spent years working incredibly hard to regain his independence and learn to walk again. After a huge amount of determination, sacrifice and rehabilitation, he made amazing progress and was able to take unaided steps.

Sadly, over the last two years, Liam’s health has deteriorated significantly. Despite numerous investigations—including multiple MRIs, CT scans, X-rays, ultrasounds, blood tests, procedures, hospital admissions and operations—doctors still don’t have a clear explanation for why his condition is getting worse.

More recently, Liam has developed severe and increasingly frequent spasms. They have now become so severe that he is physically unable to bend his own leg properly. This has had a devastating effect on his mobility and means that the progress he fought so hard to achieve has been seriously affected.

Despite everything, Liam has continued working full-time and doing everything he can to keep moving forward.

His physiotherapy is vital

Liam's doctors and physiotherapists have stressed how important it is that he continues with regular physiotherapy. Unfortunately, the cost of his rehabilitation has become an enormous financial burden.

His physiotherapy now costs approximately £21,788 every year.

Previously, Liam received some financial assistance towards his rehabilitation, but that support has unfortunately ended. At the same time, the cost of his physiotherapy increased substantially.

As a result, Liam has had to reduce his sessions from three times a week to twice a week simply to make the costs more manageable—despite knowing how important those additional sessions are.

That's why I'm fundraising for Liam

I want to help Liam continue accessing the physiotherapy that could make such an important difference to his future.

As part of this fundraising effort, I'm taking on a 21,788-metre challenge—one metre for every pound of Liam's annual physiotherapy cost.

That's over 13 miles in a single challenge, and every metre will be walked with Liam in mind.

I'm also helping raise money through the sale of greeting cards, with 100% of the proceeds going towards supporting Liam and his physiotherapy.

Every donation matters 💙

You don't have to make a large donation to make a difference. Every £5, £10, £20 or whatever you can afford will help towards keeping Liam in rehabilitation.

And if you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser can be just as valuable. You never know who might see it and be able to help.

Liam has fought incredibly hard to get as far as he has. He has come too far to give up now.

Let's help him keep fighting. Let's help him keep moving forward.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Liam's story, and thank you for any donation, share or message of support. It genuinely means more than you know. 💙

Every donation. Every share. Every step forward.
