Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Matilda is the daughter of a close family friend. She is 2 years old and earlier this year was diagnosed with Periventricular Leukocemia, a type of brain damage which has caused Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy. This means that her legs do not work properly and that she can only walk safely with a walker. In addition her fine motor skills are not as they should be and her sleep patterns are interrupted because of the resulting leg cramps. She needs a procedure called Selective Dorsal  Rhizotomy. This is available in the USA and we are fundraising to assist with the costs of the operation. We need to raise £70,000.00 - a tall order but we will not rest until we have made it. I know it's going to be a challenge for me to complete a 1 mile swim, 24 mile bike ride and 6 mile run but I am detremined to do so for Matilda. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
