Today is my 30th birthday. I must say I'm not a presents and cards kind of person but I do like to give to others. I received the most beautiful present any girl could receive on her 30th birthday which was a marriage proposal from my wonderful partner Damian.
So anyway, while I was busy doing my twitter posts showing off about my engagement I came across a post that kind of put things into perspective about how lucky I am and made me have a good old think about what I would love to do for my birthday.
I read the story of a little boy in Devon called George. George is 4 years old and he was born six weeks prematurely on 7th September 2007, by emergency c-section weighing 4lb 14oz. When he was 3 days old he had an MRI Scan which revealed that he had a major brain haemorrhage which had taken place before he was born. Blood had leaked all over his brain causing intensive damage. The Doctors said he would never walk, never talk and have severe disabilities - likely to be cerebral palsy, epilepsy and possible vision problems. His parents were also told that he would never know who they were.
George is defying the odds and his determination is exceeding initial medical prognosis.
His parents are trying to raise money for a life changing op in the U.S. and they need to raise £55,000 - so far they have managed to raise £12,546.95.
I am asking everybody that reads this to visit George's website, read his story and make a donation and help George's parents to get him the treatment he needs.
If you could pass this on to everyone you know and give your help with a donation.
