Jacob's Story
How this water baby is finding his feet!
Lynn Keenan’s son, Jacob, is a water baby. Aged 5, he loves to swim, which is especially good for Jacob. Water, and especially warm water, can help to relax his muscles. Jacob has a form of Cerebral Palsy called Spastic Diplegia, which causes an extreme tightness in the muscles of his lower body.
When Jacob was about 11 months old his mother Lynn became concerned that Jacob wasn’t reaching milestones. Lynn says “As a baby, he was difficult to dress and to position comfortably and I always had a sneaking suspicion that all was not right for Jacob. Looking back on photographs now we realise he was always in the same position.”

Support Enable Ireland
Take Action on Disability
Enable Ireland is part funded by the State to provide services to over 4,800 children and adults with disabilities.
Every year we require over €2 million in additional funding to meet the costs of delivering our services.
Without this additional income from our shops and fundraising we would not be able to meet the needs of the children and their families relying on our services.
