Liv's Dream

On Sunday 7th July 2024 a few of us crazy mums are walking the distance of a marathon from Blackburn to Blackpool to help to raise money towards Liv Young’s New York dream.

We are being joined by Get Into Keeping and Football Rossendale who are a leading football and multi-sport provider in the valley, when they heard about Liv’s story they wanted to get right behind her and show their support for a local valley girl.

For those who don’t know Liv, she is an insanely talented dancer from the valley who has been offered the chance of a lifetime to train in pre professional Jazz and Contemporary at the prestigious Joffrey Ballet School in New York.

This is an outstanding achievement for Liv as she is diagnosed with autism, situational mutism, Tourette’s syndrome, Functional neurological disorder, anxiety, hypermobility syndrome, chronic fatigue, postural orthostatic tacycardia syndrome and lack of vision in one eye.

Liv has embodied hard work, determination and courage to secure this place, however she can’t achieve her dream alone.

Living and training in New York is going to need a big financial backing, not only to provide accommodation, travel and food, but for Liv to access the support she needs to succeed. Her talent for dance speaks for itself, please help us to support her so that she can continue to work hard and pursue her dream.

If there is one thing in life that makes sense to Liv, one thing she can communicate fluently in, its dance.

Liv is flying the flag for the neurodivergent community showing how with the right support, anything is possible.

Please help us to help her achieve her dream, thank you for taking the time to read this fundraiser and we are so grateful
