Making the donation on Christian’s Just Giving Page, David said: “You are an absolute star Christian.
“It is an amazing challenge for such a brilliant cause. I hope to see you again soon. David Walliams x.”
Christian’s challenge to raise money for charity
His family said on Christian’s Just Giving page: “Christian is 5 years old and has a HIE brain injury, Cerebral palsy and is severely sight impaired.
“He, whilst in isolation, has become a little scared of walking on his frame, we are doing daily walks to build his confidence and strength back up.
“We have set him a goal of walking 3 miles outside and near our house within the next 2 weeks.”
His family said it’s a “big goal” but he’s “determined he can do this if he works hard”.
They added: “We would like to raise lots of money for the NHS as they saved Christian’s life at birth and have cared for him ever since and we are forever grateful.”
Christian’s sister Jade, 19, set up the Sign Along With Us choir to help her little brother whose cerebral palsy means he has difficulty communicating.
The brave youngster suffered brain damage at birth due to a lack of oxygen.
The choir sang A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman during their audition.
