My name is Izzy and I love life but there is one thing holding me back - I need a new wheelchair... 

I have cerebral palsy and this means that I can not see very well or control my movements - especially my wobbly legs!

Although I can walk a little with the help of a walker and leg braces, my muscles are not very strong and I find it hard to balance so I often use a wheelchair but I find it hard to move and steer the chair I have.

Mummy and Daddy have asked the NHS but they are unable to provide me with a lightweight chair until I am older but I don't want to wait. I want to be as independent as I can be and not miss out on life.

I am five years old and want to discover the world for myself, join in with my friends and not have to have Mummy or Daddy push me. I am very active and love swimming, horse riding and roller coasters.

please donate today and help - thank you xx

This is the type of chair Izzy needs
