Matilda's Cause

Welcome to my website that my mum has created for me: “Matilda’s Cause”.  On this site you will learn about me and Cerebral Palsy.

When I was born my mum & I had lots of complications. .  I came out not breathing and had to be resuscitated and then I went on to have a seizure.  I spent over two weeks at the Mater Mothers Hospital in Brisbane where the Doctors and Nurse cared of me.   However, as a result of my tough entry to the world I have been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy.  I have decided to share my journey with the world and I hope you can learn lots from me. I invite you to watch me grow, learn how to walk, talk and play with all my friends and family. I’m going to be the best I can be  regardless of my disability.

On this web site you will find some interesting information about Cerebral Palsy and what it means for children like me. You will also find links to other websites and heaps of cool photos.

If you fall in love with me which I think you probably will, you might like to help me with my cause; making people aware of Cerebral Palsy and how it affects children and their families. You might even like to do some fundraising at work, school or with your friends. If so, just visit my fundraising page and I have plenty of ideas on how you can help me out and the Cerebral Palsy League Australia.

So happy reading and I hope to see your posts soon.

Love and kisses,

Matilda ( aka Tilly, Tilly Boots & Chilli).

2011

Thus far Tilly has been a pretty busy 3 year old,  she now has a great set up at home with her equipment, she attends Xavier’s  Conductive Education two day’s a week in Brisbane.  She loves going to school and working on her body and playing with her friends.  Matilda is also seeing her Physiotherapist’s, Occupational Therapist and Speech Therapist’s on a regular basis along with Laser Acupuncture  &  Chiropracitc work.

This year Tilly also become a big sister to her new baby brother Rudy.  She is loving having a baby brother around and just wants to be around him.  She giggles when he coos and loves touching him, which is a delight to see.

We have seen some great progress in Tilly’s abilities and I believe it has to do with all the therapies, and equipment she uses in her day to day activities.  This progress would not be possible without all the help we get from friends, family and our local community from their fundraising efforts and support, so thank you again and again.
