Alexia

Alexia has Quadripledgic Spastic Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Visually impairment, and is  Globally Delayed and uses the hydra pool for crucial physio. GeeWizz funded £3,600.00 towards a year’s supply of electricity for Alexia Sinclair new hydra pool, through the Milsoms Charity Fashion Show. The hydra pool has wonderful benefits for Alexia's mobility by building her balance, strength, and coordination. We hope to fund £2000 towards Alexia electricity bill this year, to provide Alexia with the opportunity to aid her physiotherapy and development for a second year in a row.

Izzy

Isobel was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, a type of soft tissue sarcoma, in February 2020 when she was 12. She was sent home from school due to the pain in her leg and was diagnosed with sarcoma around 2 weeks later. She has received chemotherapy and surgery, including an amputation of her leg as part of her treatment. GeeWizz has provided Izzy with multiple smartCRUTCH & Elbow Crutches. Once Covid Restrictions ease, GeeWizz has organised for Izzy and her family to spend a weekend in London and to go to the theatre.

Jasmine & Summer

6-year-old Jasmine lives with her mum Sally and twin sister Summer in Beck Row, near Bury St Edmunds. She sadly suffers from Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy, a neurological condition that permanently affects muscle control and co-ordination and can cause frequent muscle spasms and tensing. This awful condition can seriously reduce the sufferers mobility. Jasmine underwent an operation a couple of years ago to help release the tendons in her legs, after this operation she required intense physiotherapy to enable her to walk and move around independently. GeeWizz have proudly funded twice weekly physiotherapy for Jasmine, who is now mobile with the help of her walking frame. We have also supported the family by providing new flooring and taking down a wall in their home, meaning Jasmine has a flat, even surface to practice her walking on and play with her sister Summer.
