What’s Caitlin's story?
6 months ago Caitlin was diagnosed with idiopathic Scoliosis, curvature of the spine. In Dec 2019 it was confirmed that Caitlin's scoliosis was severe and that she would need surgery on her spine. Caitlin has a double 'S' curve and that meant that a vast amount of her spine would need to be fused with a metal rod and screws, in a very invasive surgery, losing most of her flexibility and leaving her only able to bend at the hips.
Significant curvature of the spine can also put increased pressure on the heart and lungs. In America and some parts of Europe there is an alternative surgery available called Non-Fusion Anterior Scoliosis Correction (ASC). The main advantage of this surgery is that it preserves spinal flexibility and Caitlin would be able to continue all the things she loves. At best this surgery is £75k but due to limitations now in place due to CV19 could be as much as $198k
Please help us to raise funds towards this vital surgery to ensure in years to come, Caitlin can continue to keep her flexibility and do all the things she wants to!
A big thankyou in advance, all these fivers really will all add up and make a difference.
