9-year-old Reuben and his dad Dave will be running at the Great Bristol Run to raise money for the Wallace and Gromit Grand Appeal, a charity that has made a great difference to their lives.
Rueben was born with club foot, a condition where the Achilles tendon (the large tendon at the back of the ankle) is too short and causes either or both feet to turn in and under.
The family was supported by the charity during this time, as the hospital took care of them and helped them understand exactly what the process would be. They provided Rueben with boots and a bar, operated his feet, gave him new splints to wear and plaster casts when needed and taught him the stretches he would need as he grew.
Now, Reuben and his family want to give back to the charity and help others who are less fortunate.
