You can help this 18-year-old dance again. Here's how

An 18-year-old girl is appealing to the generosity of the public in order to fund an expensive but life changing surgery she needs to have full mobility in her legs.

Courtney Manning, from Dublin, has spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. This is a disorder that affects the ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way by impacting on muscle tone, movement and motor skills.

Although born with the condition, Courtney has deteriorated rapidly over the past two years. She went from dancing and playing GAA to struggling to sleep at night due to chronic pain.
