I want to travel by myself!

When you look back, you realize that endless classes, workouts and painful injuries are in vain that thanks to this hard work you can now laugh and rejoice, have lots of friends and entertainments, plan your future and dream of long journeys!Michael was born the second of twins, prematurely, on the 34th Sunday of pregnancy. Due to a gross medical mistake and negligence of doctors, his little sister died during childbirth, and his, almost inanimate, was taken to resuscitation.

A few months later, a cerebral palsy diagnosis, spastic tetraparesis, changed life forever. Numerous hospitals, doctors' consultations, injections and stretch marks, exhausting exercise classes and massages - instead of walks and toys, first steps and first words - this path lasted for a long 18 years.

From a small, seriously ill, practically immobile boy, a tall, cheerful, cheerful young man who loves travel and friends, he listens to "Okean Elzy" and even chants!

Thanks to the help of a huge number of very wonderful and indifferent people, all these years Misha was undergoing intensive rehabilitation courses, he was treated medically, and there were several operations. He learned to chat and laugh, and even tries to sing. For today, he enjoys great pleasure walking and even running with roller coasters.

But the illness is insidious and firmly holds the boy in his arms - it painfully strains the muscles, constricts movements with metal hugs, makes the strong boy's body flooded sweat even in the winter.

The way out is - intensive course of treatment at the International Clinic of Rehabilitation in Truskavets not only reliably relaxes the body, helps to increase the volume of movements, but also gives a powerful impetus to mastering new motor skills - here Misha tries to move around with a stick! His purpose is independent movement-for this he heavily trains practically every day.

In Misha, only a mother who brings up and provides the boy, so Michael is very hoping for your help to achieve their dreams-independently, without mom, along with friends, travel to the endless spaces of our wonderful country!
