Matilda's Story
Campaign by Just4Children (RCN 1164473)
Just4Children are raising money to help Matilda gain her independence and overcome the challenges of living with Cerebral Palsy. The money raised will go to therapies to help her to hopefully sit, crawl and walk.

Story

We recently found out that Matilda has got a place on the Napa centre 3 week intensive course in December 2025. This is an amazing opportunity for Matilda and we are looking to raise money to go towards these costs. All in, including the cost of the intensive, accommodation and time off work it will cost around £15,000 but we know it will be worth it. I decided on such a long distance to highlight the biggest problem we have had since getting Matilda’s diagnosis - there are no local physio centres within 30 miles of where we live. This mean on average Matilda has to travel around 120 miles a week for different physio sessions which amounts to around 6 hours in the car.

I will be starting the run on the 18/04/2025 and will be aiming to complete it within 36 hours.

The Napa intensive will be life changing for Matilda and for us, we would appreciate any donations / support.
