You can help Abbey get her wish to walk by donating

Abbey is 5 years old and has Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy. One of the symptoms is that it causes a painful, tightness in her legs, so she is unable to walk independently.

National charity, Caudwell Children, is supporting Abbey and other children like her by raising money to fund ground breaking treatments and physiotherapy which can help children with Cerebral Palsy walk independently for the first time.

The treatment is called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR), a complicated procedure which involves cutting some of the sensory nerve fibres that come from the muscles and enter the spinal cord. The operation reduces spasticity.

The aim is to raise £35,000 to send Abbey to Frenchay hospital, Bristol for the SDR operation and to pay for up to 2 years of specialist physiotheraphy for Abbey and other children with Cerebral Palsy.

Eventually, after a great deal of hard work and therapy, Abbey will hopefully walk unaided and pain-free.  This will give her the life that she deserves and I hope that you will help us in making her dream come true.

 

To do this we need donations for as much or as little as you can give, to raise the much needed funds for this lovely little girl and her friends.

Anybody interested in supporting the Help Abbey Walk Appeal is asked to contact Caudwell Children on 01782 600867, donate online at www.justgiving.com/abbeyswishtowalk or text ABBE56(amount) to 70070.

Important note to donors: As long as Abbey requires the funds raised to pay for treatment at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol,professional therapy and associated costs Caudwell Children will manage all payments of funds for the family. All donations made will be added to the Caudwell Children SDR Fund and will be used to help Abbey and other children with Cerebral Palsy in the UK receive this life-changing treatment.
