Little Steps For Lily

Hi all,

My name is Lily Ketteringham. I am eleven years old and have cerebral palsy. I had an operation called selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) in January 2014 in America. My family raised a lot of money to pay for it and for another operation called PERCS. I need to do lots of physiotherapy to help my muscles get stronger, which costs a lot of money. I want to be able to walk by myself so I can play with my friends and family more. I work really hard to improve my walking and will continue until I reach my dream goal.

Private physiotherapy and equipment cost five thousand pounds per year.

If you can help in any way—whether by donating or doing your own fundraising event—that would make me so happy.

Thank you,

Lily 😄 xx
