A Glasgow-based mother who lost her fiancé suddenly to heart failure at the beginning of the pandemic, is now on a mission to raise £35,000 to help her young daughter walk. Four-year-old Ella was diagnosed with diplegic cerebral palsy at two years old and uses a walker to get around. She and her twin Aaron were born prematurely at 26 weeks. Now, her mother Jennifer Faulds, 45, is hoping to raise enough so that her daughter can have Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy surgery in early 2022 - in a bid to help her running and playing again without the aid of a walker. Following the operation, Ella will need private physio up to five times a week for at least two years.
