My story

Luca is a beautiful 3 year old was struck down with Meningococcal Septicaemia in early January and his life changed forever…This horrendous disease ravaged every part of his body in hours and left him fighting for his life! With less than a 3% chance of survival Luca pulled through however he was not unscathed…
Luca lost both of his legs and all of his tissue, some muscle and skin below his hips. He has massive skin and tissue and muscle loss across his arms and shoulders and is now fighting to save his knees which have been severely damaged.

We will be raising funds to cover the huge costs of prosthetics giving Luca every chance to excel in every aspect of his future.

So please dig deep and donate now and help us raise funds for this wonderful inspirational little boy!

Follow Luca's amazing story on Facebook and Twitter. Add your own hand pics and take part! Join his following by raising your hands... and look out for his new website!
