Shine, Spina Bifida Charity

The Charity the proceeds will be going to is 'Shine'


Shine is a registered charity, which was formed in 1966, initially to help families and individuals affected by spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

Today, Shine is a community of 75,000 individuals, families, friends, and professionals, sharing achievements, challenges and information on living with hydrocephalus, or spina bifida, and related issues.

What is Spina Bifida?

Spina bifida literally means ‘split spine’

A fault in the development of the spinal cord and surrounding bones (vertebrae) leaves a gap or split in the spine. The spinal cord has not formed properly, and may also be damaged. To help understand what it is, it is useful to explain the composition of the nervous system. 

The Central Nervous System 

The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. All activities are controlled by the brain which receives information from touching, seeing, feeling, tasting and hearing – responding to this information by initiating the appropriate movements of different parts of the body. Messages from the brain are carried to different parts of the body by the spinal cord which runs down the centre of the spinal column. This communication system for the body is very important and needs protection. 

The Spine 

The spine is made up of 33 bones or vertebrae. The vertebrae have two main functions. One is to provide anchorage for muscles so that we can move as the brain dictates to those muscles. The other is to provide protection to the spinal cord. 

The Neural Tube 

The central nervous system and spine develops between the 14th and 23rd day after conception. Spina bifida occurs when the neural tube fails to close correctly. The vertebrae also fail to close in complete rings around the affected portion of the spinal cord. This leaves a gap posteriorly (at the back), involving one or more vertebrae. The fault may occur in one or more of the vertebrae but it is most common around waist-level.

This is a charity which I believe would benefit greatly from donations etc... 

My chosen Charity

Bon Appetit!

Update

The new restaurant looks amazing, Christmas is over and we're into the new year, the menu packs are almost ready and will be available to download in the very near future at a cost of just £1 per pack, the money will be going to a charity of my choice which I will talk about in my next post.

So thanks for reading and

Bon Appetit!!

Happy New Year To All!!!!
