A CHARITY for children with cerebral palsy celebrated its 10th birthday with a funding boost from Montse Benitez.

Mrs Benitez, the wife of former Liverpool FC manager Rafa, presented Stick ‘n’ Step, in Wallasey, with a cheque for £3,000 from her foundation.

It will allow the charity to refurbish its disabled toilet.

Stick ‘n’ Step was formed in 2002 by seven parents of children with cerebral palsy to provide conductive education therapy free of charge. It now caters for 70 children.

Fundraiser Kerry Roe-Ely said: “We are so proud to achieve this milestone and we look forward to what the next 10 years will bring. We are very grateful to all of our supporters.”
