Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We taking part in the Haywards Heath 10 mile run on Sunday 6th May 2013 to raise money for Walking Matilda USA. While we may be used to rocking out the running man after a few vinos on a Saturday night, actually running 10 miles will be a big challenge for us. Therefore, please show your support for Matilda and donate as much as you can - and please don't forget Gift Aid!
For more information on Matilda:
Walking Matilda is the campaign to raise money for Matilda to go to the USA for life changing surgery.
Matilda is 2 and a half years old. She has been diagnosed with Spastic Diplegia Cerebral palsy. This means basically that her legs don't work properly so she is unable to walk unaided and has to rely on a walker to help her. The really unpleasant thing about it is that it hurts where her muscles cramp and this means she can't sleep properly either, She also gets really tired really quickly so finds it difficult to play with her friends. Matildas mum and dad are raising money to take her to America where she can have an operation to make her CP affect her less. Without this her legs will slowly deform as the spasticity gets worse and she will find it harder and harder to walk in her walker. She might even have to use a wheelchair. Please donate so Matilda can live independent and pain free.
