Hattie is 3 years of age and lives in Liverpool. She has Dipelgic Cerebral palsy, and her dream is to be able to walk independently.

Hattie was born at 34 weeks. We believe somewhere between her waters breaking at 29 weeks and delivery that Hattie has picked up an infection which has caused part of her brain to be damaged. Hattie did not get her official diagnosis of cerebral palsy until she was 22 months old, which changed our whole lives and left the future for her unknown.

Hattie's life is not like a typical toddler. She is unable to walk independently, can balance no longer than a few minutes and has countless hospital appointments. She needs daily physio which is vital to help rewire her brain around the damage, we also do weekly Conductive Education and Hydrotherapy.

Hattie's progress is very slow and we have recently been offered a place at Napa London for a 3 week intense physio programme with the hope this will give her the best chance to get her walking independently and get her the strongest she can be before starting mainstream school in September.

We are doing a sponsored walk in April and fundraising to help towards the cost of taking her to London to help her achieve her independence and any specialised equipment that will help her in the future.

Hattie is the most happiest, determined, hard working little girl, so if you can help her in any way to give her a head start in life we would be forever grateful.

Thankyou for taking the time to read

Lots of love
