Story
I will be walking the three peaks on 8th June 2019. This challenge involves climbing Ben Nevis in Scotland (1345m) Scafell Pike in England (978m) and Snowdon in Wales (1085m) in 24 hours. aim is to cover the 23 miles of walking, 462 mile drive and 3064 metre ascent in 24 hours.
I am looking to raise at least £1500 for my beautiful and bubbly 4 year old Niece Madeline to support my Brother and his Wife reach their overall target of $60,000 for stem cell treatment.
Madeline's Story
While many 4-year-old children start their days with breakfast, cartoons and playtime, Madeline eats her first meal of the day during her early morning ride to a therapy session. My nieces days are filled with therapy sessions and trips to multiple doctors’ appointments. Due to her specialized condition, some appointments are local, and some are a plane ride away. As a result of her significant gross motor, fine motor and speech delays, the little amount of free time she does have looks quite different than kids her age. Madeline doesn’t find enjoyment in normal activities for kids her age. Simple things like playing with toys, working on a puzzle or even playing make believe are not possible because her brain simply doesn’t work that way….YET
As you could imagine, Madeline’s biggest frustration is her inability to express herself in a way that other people, including her own family, can understand. Because she has been diagnosed with both Autism and Apraxia, a motor planning disorder, verbal communication is extremely difficult. Despite all of this, Madeline remains to be a positive and extremely happy little girl. Due to her amazing strength, she relentlessly pushes herself every day in the hope to make her current world a distant memory.
By the age of three, Madeline was attending 32 hours of therapy sessions per week in addition to her 10 hours of nursery school. She has undergone multiple surgeries and has been diagnosed with several disorders / conditions explaining her developmental delays. Her primary diagnosis is Autism.
We are all very optimistic that with multiple rounds of treatments, along with continued intense therapy, we will see the efforts of Madeline’s hard work start to pay off. One Stem Cell Treatment, along with the required intensive therapy, comes at a cost of $12,000. Based on discussions with families currently utilizing stem cells, we know that one round of treatment will not result in a cure or even provide Madeline with the maximum benefits. Our goal is simple; to give Madeline the very best shot at one day having normal life where she can be a contributing member of society and have lasting friendships. To have any chance of realizing this dream, she will have to undergo multiple treatments.
Madeline has already undergone her first round of treatment and the initial results have been absolutely fantastic. It has given massive hope to all her family that one day soon Madeline will be living the life of any other little girl.

5 years agoJust like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has donated so far. I have now increased the limit to £2500 which is a great sign. I did the first bit of training a few weeks back at Snowdon, which I was on target with getting up and down in 4 hours. This weekend I am doing Scafell Pike, which i hope will just be the same.
