Leah Hickey Fourteen year old Leah was born with a large lump on her spine, and tests showed that she had Spina Bifida. She also had a heart defect and at 11 months old had an operation to fix it.In 2009 Leah had plates put into her legs to prevent her legs from continuing to malform, and unfortunately the procedure really set Leah’s mobility significantly backwards. However, through a lot of hard work and determination Leah has regained 90% of her mobility. In 2010 Leah had the plates removed, after they successfully straightened her legs to their full potential. Again Leah remained resilient throughout her therapy and remains the same happy, active bubbly girl we all know her to be. “Since our family, through Leah, has been associated with Cure Kids we have had amazing experiences, met many lovely and caring people and have become part of the Cure Kids family.” Leah’s Mum, Sandra |
