Charlotte Taylor ‘Charlotte Loves to Dance’ – Her Wish to Walk
Under Charlotte Loves to DanceVantage Decorators are immensely proud to support a local family in their journey to raise funds for one of the most beautiful little girls that we’ve had the privilege to meet. This story is very close to our hearts and we would very much appreciate your support.
Charlotte is three and a half years old; she has cerebral palsy after suffering a bleed to the brain around birth that caused damage to both sides of her brain.
Charlotte is a bright, bubbly little girl that loves life. Both her and Daniel, her twin, have the most infectious giggles and are such a pleasure to be around.
Charlotte is unable to walk unaided and faces the prospect of life in a wheelchair. The family have experienced incredibly difficult challenges since the twin’s premature birth. They approach these with inspirational fortitude and drive.
It is the families aim to help Charlotte to walk and enjoy the things in life that most of us take for granted. She gets incredibly frustrated that she is unable to join in and dreams of dancing!
The family are currently fundraising for an operation in the USA called selective dorsal rhizotomy, ongoing therapy and equipment. Charlotte currently doesn’t meet the criteria for this operation in the UK, however Dr Parks at St. Louis children’s hospital in Missouri has helped thousands of children like Charlotte achieve their dream of walking by themselves.
Fundraising is currently being organised through the registered charity called The Tree of Hope. To read more please click on either of the following links to help Charlotte.
