Raising money for Young Epilepsy and The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity

Story

Please help Maddie raise money for two amazing charities that are close to her heart - YOUNG EPILEPSY and the ROYAL NATIONAL ORTHOPAEDIC HOSPITAL

Maddie has spent the past few years growing her hair so she could donate it to the LITTLE PRINCESS TRUST. Having finally had it cut in the new year, her hair is being used to make to real hair wigs for children undergoing cancer treatment.

Mads now wants to use this fantastic achievement to raise sponsorship for the ROYAL NATIONAL ORTHOPAEDIC HOSPITAL and YOUNG EPILEPSY, both amazing charities which are very close to her heart.

In Summer 2018 Maddie was diagnosed with epilepsy and has benefitted hugely from the great work of YOUNG EPILEPSY, a charity which specifically supports children and young adults with this difficult condition.

Shortly afterwards, Mads was also diagnosed with scoliosis, and has now undergone surgery to correct her spinal curves at the world-leading ROYAL NATIONAL ORTHOPAEDIC HOSPITAL in Stanmore, an international centre of excellence which treats more than 150,000 patients of all ages with a wide range of complex orthopaedic conditions.

***There are two separate links below. ***. One supports YOUNG EPILEPSY, the other RNOH. *** Mads would really like to support both charities equally so if you are able to donate please give to the one with the lower balance if possible.***

Please give what you can, and help Maddie give back to two charities that make such a difference to her. Many, many thanks.
