UK 8-year-old with cerebral palsy raises money for school with remarkable piano skills

2020-05-20 1

This young man from Leeds, UK has raised over £4,000 for his school with remarkable piano skills.

Eight-year-old Lennie has cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus but he doesn't let that stop him from performing on the piano.

Footage from May 20 shows Lennie playing a rendition of the English folk song "Greensleeves."

Lennie has challenged himself to play 100 songs to raise money for his school in Sheffield, Paces, which transforms lives for those with neurological conditions.

His initial target was £750 but so far he has smashed that and raised £4,350.

Paces said: "The building which Lennie and his friends are currently in isn't fit for purpose, so Lennie wants to raise money towards their new fundraising campaign 'A New Home for Paces.'

"This will mean that they will have a brand new school and centre which will be absolutely amazing for the children and adults who attend."
