Story
LOLA'S FOOTSTEPS
5-year-old Lola was born with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy which means she is unable to walk because the muscles in her limbs are wasting away. Fortunately, for Lola there is some ground-breaking treatment that has been brought into the UK from Europe. This treatment helps children rebuild their muscles and contributes to helping them take their first steps. However, due to the expense of the treatment, it’s not available on the NHS and Lola is destined for a life in a wheelchair unless the treatment is funded privately.
Sixth Sense Salon Director knows first hand what it’s like to live with a disability from birth, after multiple operations he finally managed to take his first steps aged 5. Dean struggled his way through his childhood until his was 14 when the doctor performed a fusion of both of his ankle joints. After this operation, Dean was told there was no further treatment and if any problems occur the next course of action would be amputation from below the knee. It was also predicted that Dean would be in a wheelchair by the age of 30. Despite this, Dean has gone onto enjoy success in martial arts including boxing & MMA. He has travelled the world, climbing up mountain ranges in the Alps and completing the Inca Trail in Peru. More recently, he plays rugby for the Birmingham Bulls in a local, national and international league. Not too bad considering he was predicted to be in a wheelchair 4 years ago.
By telling his story, Dean hopes to inspire people to join him on Sunday 20th May where the whole Sixth Sense Salon Team will help raise £7,000 by partaking in a Tough Mudder. All proceeds will go towards Lola’s treatment and help her take her first steps.
6S Business Director Dean Says “As soon as I heard Lola’s story, I wanted to help. I know exactly what I feels like to struggle with walking at a young age. I hope my story encourages people to push their limits and join my team #LolasFootsteps to help raise the much-needed funds for Lola’s Treatment".
