What a difference some time makes

Update posted by Kathryn Ratcliffe

So I go away for a couple of weeks and I really can't believe the progress Donna has made!

She was only just able to walk from her sofa to her sink, a mere 5 steps, without having to grab on to something for support. Now she's able to walk around her local path with just one crutch!

On my last visit we were talking about learning to activate the glute muscles independently, as it has come up in conversation previously, and she struggled to kneel on the floor when trying to show me how to practice it. Now she's able to kneel on the floor and lean backwards!!

All this improvement has been down to her determination to get better, she is currently using her knowledge as a sports scientist to do her own rehab but has been in contact with a specialist rehab centre to begin arrangements for some sessions. This is possible because of all your kind donations, so thank you.

I know Donna wants to give you all another update, but I think she's out enjoying the sunshine at the moment so it will follow soon.

Thanks again to all who have donated and shared Donna's story, it means so much to know how much people care for her.
