Making Millie Mobile - Help her take her next steps

Hi, Myself, Andrew Howard and Darren Richards will be taking part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. This walk takes on the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres), usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. The money we raise will help support Millie.

See Millies story below

She was captain of her team at Oundle Town Girls for 3 years and worked tirelessly at Peterborough United's Emerging Talent Centre, one of the highest level girls academies for her age, and had big goals and dreams to play for her team, Chelsea and the England Lionesses.

During a pre-season football match in 2024, Millie took a knock. She felt pain but carried on and played a full match for the boys team the following day.
What was initially diagnosed as a broken leg turned to be far, far worse and on her actual 11th birthday she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma - bone cancer, which only affects about 30 children a year in the UK.
Despite surgery and chemotherapy, the tumour grew. In January 2025, Millie's left leg was amputated just above the knee.
To this date, Millie has had 7 operations, blood and platelet transfusions, over 70 nights in hospital so far and many more to come.
Her dream was shattered. But Millie is not the type to give up.

Help Millie Run, Jump and Play Again
Millie refuses to let cancer define her future and is now setting her sights on new dreams—playing for England’s Women’s Amputee Football Team and competing in the Paralympics.
To do that, she needs the best prosthetic leg possible—one that will allow her to run, play football, cycle, swim and ride horses again.

How You Can Help
We are raising £130,000 to fund:
✅ A high-performance prosthetic leg that will grow with her.
✅ Specialist rehabilitation to help her regain strength and mobility.
✅ Adaptive sports equipment so she can continue to chase her dreams.
The amount required is not for just one leg but as Millie grows she will need component parts such a knees and sprockets for her future.
The best prosthetic leg for Millie at the moment to grow into would be the Genium X4 microprocessor knee with a price of £134,000.
Every single penny raised will go directly to Millie’s mobility, prosthetic leg and rehabilitation. If we are fortunate enough to raise additional money this will solely go for Millie so that she has a leg for life.
This is not about luxury or extras. This is about giving an incredible young girl the chance to live life to the fullest again.
Please donate, share, and spread Millie’s story—every contribution makes a difference.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping Millie take her next steps.
