Story

Thank you very much for visiting daddy's fundraising page.

When I was diagnosed with DDH Mummy & Daddy didn't have a clue about the hip condition until they contacted Steps. Steps provided them with useful information on all the different hip conditions, operations, treatments and equipment that is available, they also offered advice through their helpline. 

After spending over two weeks in hospital with both legs in traction I had an operation to mend my hip joint. I then had to spend 5 months with both legs in plaster which was a bit frustrating because all I wanted to do was walk, which I eventually managed to do even with my plaster stockings!

Even though I am finally out of plaster I still need regular checkups to make sure the joint is growing as it should.

So please please sponsor daddy for this worthwhile charity.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor daddy: Steps Charity Worldwide will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you very much for your support, Love Maia xxx
