I met the McLennan family this morning, whose little daughter Faith (below left) is living in constant pain.
The five-year-old has cerebral palsy - a lifelong condition affecting movement and co-ordination caused by a problem with the brain during or soon after birth.
She is only able to walk with a frame and her parents Caroline and Lee (above) are hoping to raise £40,000 to give her a non-NHS treatment called selective dorsal rhizotomy, external, which can be very effective at reducing stiffness and spasticity.
Caroline says the operation and post-op physio could remove Faith's pain "and be life-changing for us as a family".
