Making Lemonade: A Fundraiser for Olive

North Leeds parents Lisbeth & George are fundraising to buy an all-terrain wheelchair for their three year old daughter Olive, who after a catastrophic brain injury at birth, has quadriplegic cerebral palsy; she cant sit, walk, or talk, and is fed through a gastrostomy tube.

Olive can’t do anything without help to meet every single need, but doesn’t let this stop her enjoying life to the fullest. When life has given Olive lemons… the family really do Make Lemonade!

They are super adventurous (Lisbeth and George climbed Kilimanjaro for their honeymoon!) and love getting outdoors. Olive loves being outside, and although she is non-verbal, Olive is learning to “talk” using a computer that she controls with her eyes and often asks for “buggy”, “walk” and “park”. Their family also live in rural places- with grandparents in the Lake District and Aunties and Uncles in Devon and Cornwall. As Olive grows, the family are finding it increasingly difficult for her to access the outdoors safely and comfortably. She needs a specialist wheelchair that can keep her supported and can also handle rougher terrain to give her access to forest paths, sandy beaches and lakeland trails.

Olive is a happy three year old, with a lovely smile. She has a wonderful personality and loves spending time with other children. Rather than getting cross that she can’t join in when they are running around, she loves to watch and smile at them. But, what Olive loves most is company and to be part of the action, with an all terrain wheelchair she’ll be able to do exactly that!
