Head Shave for Grace Harper Trust
Donation protected
The ‘Grace Harper Trust’ has been established to raise funds that will ultimately allow Grace to live as full a life as possible and to achieve her potential.
It aims to ensure that Grace is assisted with everyday living and that she is provided with the best possible care.
In the coming year the Grace Harper Trust plans to fund Grace’s rehabilitation in a number of ways.
Sue and Stevie plan to take Grace to the Brainwave Clinic in the UK for a private assessment and therapy programme. This centre has a proven track record in working with families to deliver individual home based therapy and exercise programmes that help children with disabilities to achieve their potential.
They also intend to hire a private physiotherapist to work with Grace in her own home once a week, which will essentially double the time Grace spends with a physiotherapist in a week
In addition, Grace has recently had a trial run on the Alter G Anti-Gravity Treadmill at the Medfit Clinic in Dublin, pictured above. The trial was promising but it will take continuous regular sessions in order to see any results from using the the Alter G, which supports Grace’s weight so that she can get used to walking movement. Over time, the percentage of weight assumed by the machine will be transferred gradually to Grace.
