A young girl with cerebral palsy is just £20,000 away from her dream of being able to walk unaided.
The family of Orla Brash, 4, from Tylers Green, have been tirelessly trying to raise £85,000 for an operation called selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) that will not be funded by the NHS – and have just reached £65,000.
The latest fundraiser saw eight people brave the Tough Mudder obstacle course in Henley at the end of April in aid of Orla’s Own Steps.
The novices endured an ice plunge, mud baths, Everest wall and an electric shock tunnel to raise more than £6,300.
The operation Orla is hoping to have will be featured on ITV’s ‘What Would Be Your Miracle?’ at 9pm tonight.
