Simple things that come naturally to most people are impossible for me to do, like get dressed, brush my hair and teeth, climb the stairs, sit on a chair – I can’t even wiggle my toes. I wish I could stand and walk on my own, and do all the things that my friends can do like run & jump. I would love to kick a football one day too.

I have been accepted to have an operation in America called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) to permanently reduce the tightness in my legs and hopefully help me walk on my own. The operation, expenses, equipment and intensive physiotherapy for a year after will cost £70,000 and I really need your help to raise the money.

Please help my wish come true xx
