​

Chance4Charlie is a fundraiser for ongoing specialist medical treatment for Charlie, a young woman with Classical Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. 

​

We are currently fundraising for a neurosurgery Charlie needs to have with her specialist neurosurgeon in Barcelona, Dr Gilete.

​

Charlie has Occult Tethered Cord and needs a tethered cord release surgery. We need to raise at least £30,000 for this surgery which is booked to take place on the 29th April 2022.

​

Tethered cords means Charlie’s spinal cord is inappropriately tethered to the inside of her spinal column causing too much tension in her spine. This is causing nerve damage and putting pressure on her spinal fusion and other unstable areas of her spine. 

​

In 2019 you all helped us raise enough for Charlie to have a life-saving spine fusion and jugular vein decompression with the same surgeon, which was very successful, but as Charlie’s condition is complex, serious and degenerate we were aware that more neurosurgeons would probably be in her future.

We are grateful for any support you may be able to offer towards our campaign.
