Cerys Emilia was born in July 2015 and came into the world 9 1/2 weeks early. Cerys spent her first few weeks in two hospitals, but went from strength to strength each day.

Cerys continued to develop and slowly reached her milestones. In April 2017, our fears were confirmed by her specialist that she had Bilateral Cerebral Palsy, which is worse on her right side. Since her diagnosis Cerys has attended physio and occupational therapy sessions and works very hard at everything that is thrown at her.

There is an operation called an SDR (Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy) which Cerys could have to reduce the spasticity in her legs and help to improve her walking. Cerys has been referred to Bristol Hospital, one of four in the UK that do the operation privately as it is not currently funded by the NHS.Cerys Emilia was born in July 2015 and came into the world 9 1/2 weeks early.

With big thanks to all of Jac Bach supporters aswell as a very successful curry & quiz night at Juboraj Rhiwbina, organised by Julia Somerford and Rachel Pitman, we have been able to donate £11,000 towards Cerys' treatment.
