    Story

    Gracie has cerebral palsy and has been accepted to have SelectIve Dorsal Rhizotomy operation. This will cut nerves in her spine to stop spasms in her leg muscles. After the operation she will need intense physiotherapy for a year or maybe 2 at the end of which the hope is that she will be able to walk independently. Gracie is 6 years old now and walks with a frame, she loves dancing and goes to Twistoflex dance school where she tries really hard to do all the moves with all the other children. The NHS have stopped funding this operation meaning that the family are now trying to raise a huge amount of money. This would be a life changing opportunity for Gracie and we are doing everything we can to make this a possibility for her. We are hoping you can help in any small way. As a certain supermarket says - every little helps. Thank you

      5 days left for our justgiving page. The generosity of everyone has been just amazing. Thank you all so very much. I would like to send a message individually to everyone but I still haven't figured out how to do that! With your help and all other fundraising events so far we have around a quarter of the amount needed to be able to get things underway for Gracie. It's going to be tough for her but her future will be so so much better. Thank you again x you can follow our progress through gracie's Facebook page at gracie's appeal

      A great big thank you for all your donations it's a fantastic start to our campaign. You might have noticed that the target amount has changed since we first posted it. We had not realised how much the follow up physio would cost. 22 days to go!!
