🎗️💚Run For Valentin 💚
Donations & Sponsors kindly accepted
Valentin’s introduction to life was not an easy one. He suffered a brain injury at birth resulting in cerebral palsy, CVI, global developmental delays and many other medical complications. Valentin has been in and out of hospitals, gone through multiple surgeries, and powered through intense therapies at only 3 years of age. Despite all the hurdles he’s had to jump, Valentin remains strong and resilient. Join Valentin on his journey through life with Cerebral Palsy and always remember to be #ValiantLikeValentin
