<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page as most of you know my little girl Lila was born in 2010 with some difficulties. Although she is doing AMAZING she still has trouble feeding so is tube fed.</p> <p>The last 18 months have been a massive journey for me, Steve and of course Lila who has had to endure hospital visits and an operation. (All with a big smile on her face)</p> <p>In January we were lucky enough to get a place at Hawthorn Family Support Centre which is a part of Leeds Mencap. We go once a week and meet other parents and carers and their special little ones. It is such a welcome break from all the worries and Lila loves the playroom. The Centre relies on donations alone to stay open. After trying to persuade Steve to do the firewalk (he's too scared) I've decided to 'man up' and step onto the hot coals myself! I know it's Christmas and money's tight but if you could please dig deep and donate any amount I'd be so grateful.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
