ALL they want is to see their daughter walk on her own two feet.

But with money running low, Lesley and David Williams will be forced to abandon the intense physiotherapy that could make that dream a reality.

Little Lucy Williams was diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy after suffering a brain haemorrhage when she was born ten weeks early.

Doctors thought she would never be able to sit up, stand or walk but the youngster from Bishop’s Waltham has defied the medics and proved, with a lot of hard work, that the impossible is possible.

Now aged seven, Lucy goes to Durley Primary School, racing around with her walking frame and is even beginning to walk with just the help of two sticks.

Her mum and dad, Lesley and David, have put this amazing progress down to intensive physiotherapy sessions at the Footsteps Foundation in Oxfordshire, where they started taking Lucy last year.

She receives basic physiotherapy from the NHS but determined that Lucy should reach her full potential, her parents looked elsewhere.

She has had four three-week sessions at the centre and now the possibility of Lucy being able to walk is within reach.

But each session costs at least £1,800 and funds are running low.

Lesley, 37, a full-time mum to Lucy and five-year-old Ben, said: “Since going to Footsteps Lucy has made amazing progress, to the point where we can realistically think about her walking unaided in the future. It’s so exciting.

“When she was first diagnosed it was horrendous. She was our first child and suddenly we were thrown into this unknown world, feeling sad and isolated.”

Lesley, who will be running the Great South Run to boost funds, added: “We hate asking for money but it would be devastating to know that the only reason Lucy hasn’t been able to reach her full potential was because we didn’t have the cash.”
