Story
Coopas wish to walk
Coops is a very special,very brave,bright little girl who lives life as happy as any other 5 year old girl does,but struggles to do as any other 5 year old girl does.
coopa has a condition which means she is unable to walk or even stand unaided.
Coopa was born 7 weeks premature which left her on a high dependacy ward needing help to breathe for 2 weeks.
When coopa was 18 months old she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy,mainly affecting her legs.coopa has been given treatment for the last 3 years which as involved physiotherapy/medication/Botox injections to try and relax her muscles in her legs.not having much success with these treatments coopa as now been given the opportunity to have a possible life changing operation (SDR)
SELECTIVE DORSAL RHIZOTOMY is an operation that helps children with stiffness(spasticity) in their legs due to cerebral palsy. The procedure involves cutting a number of sensory nerves in the lower spine.The reason for cutting sensory nerves is that the messages from these nerves are abnormal in children with cerebral palsy leading to stiffness(spasticity)
Now unfortunately this operation is not funded by the NHS and costs a massive £14,314 for the operation and the aftercare (intense physiotherapy)costs an extra £20,000
We are hoping to raise these funds to change our little girls life in the very near future..
All donations are very much appreciated as are suggestions/ideas on fundraising events
THANK YOU
