Story


 Orla, is like all 3 years olds - fun, cheeky, naughty, happy, mischievous and extremely well loved! There is only one difference between her and all her friends, Orla cannot stand, balance or walk unaided. Orla gets herself around by crawling indoors or outdoors using her best buddy Spot (a walking frame). We want to change that and help Orla to take her Own Steps!


Orla was born 5 weeks premature and after a complicated birth she had to be resuscitated. At 11 months old Orla was introduced to the world of seeing therapists weekly with lots of prodding and poking and tests and at 2 years old she was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (basically for Orla over tight muscles in her legs) 

The operation Orla will need is a procedure called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR). This will reduce the spasticity in Orla's legs, improve her co-ordination and hopefully enable her to take her Own Steps for ever!!
