..I was born with congenital cataracts which meant I had little or no vision in both eyes. At 3 months old I was very very brave and had surgery on both eyes to remove the cataracts, I then started to wear contact lenses in both eyes without which I cannot see. For many months and years following my operations I had many tests and dozens of general anaesthetics at Alder Hey where I was looked after by the amazing Consultants, Doctors and Nurses who me and my family call real life Superheroes!  This year I am hoping to undergo more surgery which will result in me no longer having to wear contact lenses which I am starting to find painful. 

I want to raise as much money as I can to help other Girls and Boys and the Super Heroes who look after them.
