We are eternally thankful to Vincent and Flavia of "Strictly Come Dancing" who have provided autographed shoes which they have danced in during their recent tour of "Midnight Tango" which will hopefully help Joseph Hill who is raising money for Tree of Hope as he needs a life changing operation
Vincent and Flavia just happen to be Joseph's favourites of all of the "Strictly Come Dancing" Professionals and he was over the moon to know that these where given to help him raise funds and that they "had really danced in these shoes - FOR REAL!!!?!?!"
Joseph was born prematurely at 34 weeks. After initially fighting for his life he spent the next 6 weeks of his life in neo-natal care, where we were told that due to lack of oxygen he had suffered significant damage to his brain and the doctors were unsure as to what extent he would be affected. After twelve months of uncertainty, Joseph was diagnosed with Spastic Diplegia, which is a form of Cerebral Palsy and predominately affects his lower limbs and hence, his mobility.
After many years of struggle, Joseph has reached the stage where he can manage to walk with a walking frame and is able to walk a few steps independently. However, to do this Joseph needs daily physiotherapy along with a lot of encouragement and support.
Joseph has been offered an operation which will be simply life changing. The operation, Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) is carried out at Leeds General Infirmary. This operation, combined with an intensive physiotherapy programme would give Joseph the chance to do the thing that most children take for granted – which is to walk !
It’s a long journey ahead but as a family we are determined to achieve Joseph’s goal of walking unaided and independently and you can help us take this step
Please bid for these shoes:
