Hi everyone, my name is Rebecca and I am fundraising on behalf of my partner Maisie.
Maisie is 25 years old, from Twickenham and she is in urgent need of help. In 2021, she fell and sustained a traumatic neck injury called CCI (Craniocervical Instability). Over time Maisie's condition has deteriorated and she is now primarily bed-bound, unable to work or care for our young daughter.
Maisie needs urgent fusion surgery to stabilise her neck but this is not available on the NHS, and is no longer available privately in the UK. For an explanation as to why this is the case please refer to our FAQ.
Maisie has been suffering now for 4 years. She spends most of her time bedridden with excruciating headaches, blurred vision, vertigo and memory loss. She wants nothing more than to get her life back, go out and spend time with her family, and play with her daughter.
For this to be a possibility we need your help. We need to fundraise £45,000 for urgent treatment overseas.
The only countries that currently treat her condition are Spain and America. Spain is closer and cheaper, and given Maisie's fragile state it will be easier to transport her to Barcelona by car rather than fly her to the US.
Barcelona has an award winning medical centre run by expert neurosurgeons specialising in Craniocervical Instability. There are only a small handful of these specialists in the whole world.
Maisie is young and has her whole life ahead of her. Surgery gives her hope, a chance to bring up her little girl. As her partner it is heartbreaking to see her like this.
Please help us by donating, supporting us with our community efforts, or sponsoring us as a company (any company that sponsors us will be mentioned on our website and social media).
If you are not in a position to do the above please SHARE our story
It would mean the world to us! The more our story is shared the more people we reach.
Every little bit helps and will be greatly appreciated!
If you want to get involved in our fundraising effort please email us.
Same goes for sponsorship or press.
*IMPORTANT*
There is a possibility that we will incur additional medical costs. Maisie has been on the waiting list for a long time and hospital fees are predicted to increase in March 2026. Maisie might also need a more extensive surgery (long fusion) as time drags on. Every day that we delay treatment Maisie deteriorates, risking further irreversible damage to her body, and larger medical bills.
