Fund Tegans LA Trip
Donation protected
This Fund is for a young lady who inspires me and shocked me when i found out about a hidden medical problem she has been battling with severe vision loss, she attends hours of dance sessions a week and i have never noticed her struggle picking up the moves.
Tegan is registered blind: she has an untreatable and incurable genetic condition called Stargardt’s disease in which the light-sensitive layer of cells in the area in the back of the eye - the macular - degenerates, resulting in increasingly severe vision loss, although people with Stargardt’s still keep some peripheral vision. Tegan has to attend Moorfields Eye Hospital in London three times a year - one visit for an annual check-up to monitor her vision loss, and twice a year to take part in a research project. Each appointment involves 5-6 hours of tests.
She is an incredibly brave young lady and unfortunately has had the news that she may lose her sight completely.
Our last wish as a company is to send her off to L.A with our dancers to perform before this tragic condition takes her sight and with it countless opportunities as a dancer, The trip takes place April 2018 and would be ever so grateful if we could raise the money to make this girls dream come true. As a company we are giving her FREE dance sessions and training for the trip to take the burden off the family and Tegan!
The money will pay for a week in LA dancing at DISNEYLAND, Learning from top choreographers across the world, Flights, Accomondation and some pocket money to spend in San Diego.
Thankyou for reading and we hope you can help Tegans wish come true.
