Lyla and some of her team mates will be taking on the challenge of the Heaton Park RunThrough Junior race in order to raise money for the England Amputee Football Association Juniors. This is a huge challenge for these kids and will be something to remember and be so proud of!

This charity has had a massive positive impact on Lyla and all of the children's involved. Lyla has faced so much at such a young age, she had to have a through the knee amputee at the age of 18 months due to a limb difference she was born with. Every child the charity supports has faced challenges from trauma, cancer, illness or birth and every one of them faces challenges in life that most of us can’t even imagine.

Meeting all of her friends at The EAFA has been so important to her, she can spend time with other children with limb differences, showing her how much strength they all have and what she can achieve. The EAFA is a charity, fully funded by donations. This charity gives us all as families, so much and supports these children immensely so we want to raise some funds to support it and ensure it keeps going.

Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
