Story
UPDATE: 26/6/18 Due to skyline company they have moved the jump date to 15th july at 10amWelcome to the Jump For Emilie Just Giving Page. Emilie Thornton our daughter is a very special 9years old girl. Emilie has a genetic chromosome disorder, there is no syndrome name for Emilie's condition. This is because she is the only one with this condition. Leeds St James genetic team cant find anyone not only in the uk but around the world with exact same chromosome abnormality. Her condition means Emilie has global development delay, unable to walk or talk, unable to eat and drink has special feeding tube in her stomach and requires 24 hour care for all her life. We have been told her is condition is life limiting, and we are so grateful for everyday. This little girl has been through so many hurdles in her little life and nearly lost her a few times but no she pulls through, such a strong angel who lights up everyone's world who knows her. The last few years have been so hard for her, having had a 2 major spinal operations at LGI Hospital where they have had to fit special MAGEC rods to try and correct her scoliosis, if not the abnormal curve of spine would result in heart and left lung being crushed in future years. Then double pneumonia and septicemia at end of last year rushed from Pinderfields Hospital to Sheffield Childrens Hospital Intensive care Unit were Emilie was put on ventilator fighting for her life. But as our little fighter is, she doesn't give up that easily and we had a wonderful christmas at home. Emilie also suffers from painful stomach and bowel spasms with reflux and has been having investigation as to cause for sometime, top doctors LGI still trying to get to the reasons for these episodes that result in her being in excruciating pain for 5-7days. These episodes occur frequently and at times are so severe in pain Emilie now has to be given morphine and buscopan injection ampules.
When Emilie is well she is the most smiley, happy little girl. Emilie loves to be outside, giggles at all the traffic and people who walk past her.And she loves to shop, which of course girls do! We love as family to go out for walks and day trips out and we take our lovely chocolate Labrador Lucy with us. Lucy and Emilie are best friends, Lucy is so gentle with Emilie, dogs know don't they, so cute.......but we have got to a stage now that with the wheelchair Emilie has been given to use by the NHS is not suitable for when we go for walks and days out. Its very heavy to push and it has very little suspension which Emilie absolutely now requires with having 2 titanium rods attached to her spine, every bump she feels. This chair is very good for her to use at school though where there are no bumps or hills! Only certain wheelchairs are available on the NHS.
The Delichon Delta All Terrain 3 wheeled Off-Road Special needs buggy or S.O.S seating 3 wheeled Xrover all in one buggy is what we would like to try raise the money for to buy Emilie one. They cost around £2500 price when include straps and raincover, special needs equipment it is so expensive. This buggy would be absolutely fantastic for Emilie and would mean so much to her so that she can get out doors and see the world. Emilie can't ride a bike, she can't go to the park and go on climbing frames, Emilie can't go play sports, run and play hide and seek with her friends, the list goes on and on but with this buggy she can go to areas and see things she wouldn't be able to do. She deserves it bless her and we as her parents will do everything we can to make this dream come true for her.
Richard, Emilie Stepfather will be doing a Jump For Emilie by doing a daring Sky Dive on Friday 13th July 2018 10am at Bridlington Airfield. Arranged through the company Skyline Parachuting. UPDATE : 5/6/18 Due to injury Richard Schofield will be unable to do the sky dive on friday 13th july 2018, Sooooo Karen Schofield will be doing the jump instead and take richards place, Go Karen!!!!.............OMG she says!!!
We are kindly asking for sponsorship for Richard to do his Jump out of a plane for Emilie and all money raised will go towards this special buggy, minus costs arranging the jump. Aiming for £900 but of course hoping to raise as much as we can for Emilie so raised target now to £1300 as all accessories for the buggy costs hundreds of pounds sadly.
Thankyou all, love from
Emilie's Mum & Stepdad, Karen Schofield & Richard Schofield xx
