Firstly let me start by introducing myself, my name is Shirley, or as I am becoming known Auntie Shirley, I set up a fund raising group back in May this year called the Friends of Izzy.  Izzy is my cousin’s grand-daughter whom, as a result of a long traumatic child birth suffers from Cerebral Palsy. Izzy is 5 now and for this operation to be 100 percent  successful it has to be done before she is 6 years old. After this the percentage of success drops In May her mother Natasha paid me a visit, and told me about a pioneering operation that Izzy could have, to help her walk un-aided. But this operation comes at a cost of course. The operation is done at the Frenchay Hospital in Bristol.by Dr K Aquillina,  It is known as an SDR operation, (Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy), and involves a complicated procedure of cutting the nerves in her spine which they do by removing park of one of her discs, by doing this they will be able to teach Izzy to walk all over again. But this time correctly. By doing this operation on children with Cerebral Palsy, the government could save themselves a million pound per sufferer, in the long term however,  the English government will not give permission for the operation to be done here on the NHS although, if they did they would save them millions of pounds. By Fund raising we are trying to help Izzy walk un-aided and give her a chance to do all the things her friends can do, things we all take for granted, things our children do every day. Make Izzys  Dream of being able to dance come true. Ms. Shirley Hume (Founder of Friends of Izzy) Charity no: 1140837 2013 congratulations to Izzy and her family. Izzy has now had her operation and is taking steps towards leading a full and active life. We look forward to welcoming her into the dojo as a junior judoka. |
