The DinoDay ChallengeTake on an activity of your choice in the DinoDay Stomp & Roar Challenge to help raise funds for our vital support services for families with disabled children. Why we need your help We’re raising funds this DinoDay so we can continue to change the lives of families with disabled children with our vital services and information. The money will also help us campaign to tackle the inequalities that families with disabled children face, like we did for Cameron Mathieson’s family and thousands of others since. You can read more about Cameron’s story, the inspiration behind DinoDay, below.

At that time, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) was taken away from children who spent over 12 weeks in hospital. Here at Contact, we supported the Mathieson family’s legal challenge to this unfair rule. With our support, the family won their case at the Supreme Court and since then, no other family with a child who spends long periods in hospital has been denied this essential financial support. Cameron, who was born on 19 June, loved dinosaurs – or as he called them, Dowsers – and his favourite Dowser was a green triceratops called Troy!
