💜 What an unforgettable and emotional moment at the Cape Town Marathon. 💜

One of our incredible Iris House children, Oliver, achieved a truly monumental milestone as his amazing mom, Gilly, helped him out of his buggy to cross the finish line on his own two feet. Watching Oliver make his way across that line was more than just a race moment it was a moment of courage, determination, love, and pure triumph. 🏅✨

There were tears, cheers, and so much pride as everyone witnessed this beautiful achievement. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do at Iris House Children’s Hospice celebrating every victory, no matter how big or small, and standing beside our children and families every step of the way. 💜

Oliver, we are SO unbelievably proud of you. Your strength and spirit inspire all of us every single day. And to Gilly your love, dedication, and support are nothing short of extraordinary.

A very special thank you to Warrior On Wheels Foundation for making this possible and for helping create opportunities and experiences that truly change lives. 💜♿

This was not just crossing a finish line… this was crossing into a moment none of us will ever forget. 🌟

💜 A beautiful day of smiles, splashes, and special moments! 💜

Our children had an absolutely wonderful time enjoying Aqua Therapy at St Joseph’s, filled with laughter, confidence-building, and lots of fun in the pool. ☀️💦

Aqua therapy offers incredible benefits for children with special needs, creating a safe and supportive environment where movement becomes easier and more enjoyable.

For children living with Cerebral Palsy (CP), the water helps reduce pressure on muscles and joints, allowing for improved mobility, balance, muscle strengthening, and freedom of movement that can often be difficult on land.

For children with Autism and sensory processing challenges, the calming effect of the water can help regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, improve focus, and encourage communication and social interaction in a soothing environment.

Beyond the physical and therapeutic benefits, days like these are about joy, confidence, connection, and giving every child the opportunity to simply be a child. 💜

Thank you to everyone involved in making these meaningful experiences possible for our children and families.
