Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My beautiful sister, Felicity, (or Flissy as we called her), was born with Cerebral Palsy.  She really couldn't do much for herself, she was very physically and mentally disabled and had to live with so many challenges living with Cerebral Palsy.  Despite everything she had to go through on a daily basis (coping with her epilepsy and pain from her physical disabilities, constant hospital visits, physiotherapy, chest infections..), she never complained.  She just got on with it, and showed the most tremendous human spirit that continues to inspire me 24 years after she died in June 1993, a month before her 15th Birthday.  Please help me raise some money for Mencap, who helped Flissy during her short life and continue to provide fantastic support for people who have to live with a learning disability due to cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
