Mary and Oscar’s story

We meet a family with 4 children, 2 of whom were diagnosed at the same time with Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition that affects both mental and physical development.

Mary 12 & Oscar 10 now have such complex needs that even leaving the house can be difficult, let alone going on holiday.

But thanks to support from BBC Children in Need, Camp Jojo is able to offer families a camping weekend full of fun but also with everything they might need inside a tent – including hoists, medical beds or electricity for vital medical assistance.

With an older brother of 14, and a younger brother of 3, Camp Jojo provides something for the whole family and is a wonderful break and a chance to make memories for them all.
