Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Through Matilda's Dad all of us at work have become aware of the campaign to get Matilda to the USA for this operation, and the brilliant work support from Tree of Hope. I won my place in the 2013 London Marathon through a ballot, which is why it has all been a bit last minute with the training and fudraising, but what better way to try and raise a little more toward this inspring little girl's life changing operation!
Walking Matilda is the campaign to raise money for Matilda to go to the USA for life changing surgery.
Matilda is 2 and 3/4 years old. She was diagnosed with Spastic Diplegia Cerebral palsy In February 2012. This means basically that her legs don't work properly so she is unable to walk unaided and has to rely on a walker to help her. The really unpleasant thing about it is that it hurts where her muscles cramp and this means she can't sleep properly either, She also gets really tired really quickly so finds it difficult to play with her friends. Matildas mum and dad are raising money to take her to America where she can have an operation to make her CP affect her less. Without this her legs will slowly deform as the spasticity gets worse and she will find it harder and harder to walk in her walker. She might even have to use a wheelchair. Please donate so Matilda can live independent and pain free. For more info visit the link at the bottom of the page
