Bella was born at 30 weeks weighing only 2lb 14oz. During her 6 weeks in special care, we were told she had two small cysts in her brain that would possibly affect her mobility but we would have to wait and see to what extent.

At 2 years old Bella was diagnosed with Bilateral dyskinetic cerebral palsy which affects her from her waist down. She is currently unable to stand or walk unaided but we are hoping through physical therapy and providing her with intensive therapy treatment and specialised equipment she will become independent, however this may be.

Your money will help support us to make sure Bella gets access to everything she needs to achieve this.

Thank you so much.
