Skydive for Violet Breet

I’m taking part in this skydive to raise vital funds for Violet Breet. Violet was born in November 2020 at just 30 weeks old as a result of a placental abruption. Violet’s birth was rushed, terrifying, and both her and Mum, Helen, almost didn’t make it. Violet suffered severe brain damage and this has resulted in Violet being diagnosed with cerebral palsy in all four of her limbs, epilepsy, she is non-verbal, and also visually impaired with a condition called cerebral vision impairment. Violet is now 2 and is known as one of happiest and funniest children about, with her always developing personality shining through! Violet struggles with her mobility, and doctors have said she could be permanently wheelchair bound. It is also likely Violet will be non-verbal for the rest of her life. My aim with this skydive is to be able to raise crucial funds for Violet, and her parents, to ensure she is able to have access to all the important and necessary equipment, help, support, and any other beneficial things she may need as she grows up. Any funds raised will go towards getting Violet her additional physio therapy that she can’t get on the NHS. Currently, Violet only gets approx. 20 hours a year on the NHS, but travelling to mainland UK/abroad will enable her to get almost the same amount of additional treatment within one week that she gets in a full year through the NHS. As much as Violet’s family cannot fault the NHS and have no complaints to make about her medical team, getting her this extra physiotherapy will help Violet reach her full potential as much as possible - which hopefully means being able to enjoy some independence and not having to rely on wheelchairs and other equipment 24/7. A few examples of things any money raised will contribute to… -Targeted training in Wales to try and help Violet’s core strength and stability -Training in Lanzarote, helping to ease the pressure on her muscles -Additional therapy that is crucial for her development You can follow Violet’s journey at @lifeofmissvwithcp on Facebook and Instagram! Hopefully we can raise as much money as possible to help Violet’s development as she grows up. Any shares, donations, or support in anyway is greatly appreciated!
