Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Bella. is a happy 11 year old girl with an infectious smile... Unfortunately she has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy caused through a very rare gene mutation.
Please help me fundraise to continue with private therapies like physio and hydrotherapy and any essential equipment Bella might need which will help improve her physical development, enjoyment and achieve her full potential.
Bella was born on 4th February 2008 and within a few months it was apparent something was not quite right. After several investigations Bella's parents received the devastating news that she had cerebral palsy. The prognosis for Bella's future was not good and this was, and still is, very hard to come to terms with.
Bella needs 24 hour care and supervision as well as specialist equipment and therapy to move her about and despite the challenges that face her on a daily basis she remains a ray of sunshine in the lives of all those who know her. Bella cannot walk and relies on regular medication to prevent seizures as she also suffers from epilepsy.
Bella goes to school, defying all the odds, and particularly loves painting. She has a wicked sense of humour, often making the whole class erupt into laughter. Bella is a real inspiration and truly touches the lives of all she meets.
Bella deserves the best chance to get as much independence, normality and quality of life as can be achieved.  The physiotherapy and hydrotherapy is helping bella get closer to those goals along with specialised equipment for her enjoyment, which gives her the same independence as other children.
Thankyou so much for reading Bella's story.  Her family are truly grateful for any donation you can make.
