The Cutting Rooms

Here at The Cutting Rooms we are helping a special little girl achieve her dreams!

Posted on 11. May, 2010 by Sam Barry in Opinion & gossip

The Cutting Rooms are supporting an amazing charity called ‘Francesca’s Footsteps’, and is hoping you will to.

It’s for a little girl who was  born with Cerebral Palsy, which affects the ‘motor’ part of her brain. The muscles in Francesca’s legs are stiff and she cannot walk unaided.

We were introduced to Francesca by her loving Auntie Kirsty Myres and being part of a group of girls and we are all soft as anything (as you can imagine), we are trying our best to raise awareness for this little girl and her family. We are hoping you all feel the same and help as much as you can.

Francesca is now aged eight and attends St. Gregory’s School. She has recently been accepted for major spinal surgery in the USA this summer which will cost around about £40.000. The surgery (which is not available in the UK ) involves cutting the “bad” nerve fibres in the spine eliminating the stiffness and giving Francesca much greater range of movement. Francesca will then be able to walk with sticks after surgery. Her sitting, standing and balance will improve and without the tightness in her legs she will be more comfortable.

So it’s all pretty amazing stuff. The Cutting Rooms have decided to to launch a raffle, in which you can win a hamper of Redken Products. It’s a pound a strip, and you can buy as many as you want. We are also selling tickets for a Duck Race at Brampton Halt/ Chapel Brampton Pocket Park on 19th June. Each numbered ticket corresponds to a duck that will be entered into the race on the day. These are £2 each, and also makes a great day out for the whole family
