Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Matilda is the daughter Karen’s friends Lindsey and Dave. 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.

Matilda 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 at least £60,000.

 

To help raise this money Karen, Becci and Abi will be running the Tonbridge Half Marathon on 23 September.  None of us have run this distance before.  We’ve been training hard but it will be a big challenge!
