Meet Olivia Coleman
Olivia is a young girl born with quadriplegic cerebral palsy.
Like many other children, the equipment and therapies provided by the local authorities do not meet Olivia’s needs, leading to her family searching for other avenues which unfortunately proved far too costly.
Olivia and her family were lucky enough to be put in touch with a few amazing charities which helped to provide much-needed services. Her family and close friends have now set up their own charity to help other children benefit the same way they did.
Livvy Lou’s Loved Ones is a relatively new charity set up to help disabled, seriously ill children and support their families. The charity aims to provide financial help for children who need specialist equipment, intense therapy courses, and much needed respite/breaks for them and their families.
On 24th September, the family and 20 friends of Livvy Lou’s Loved Ones are taking on the gruelling task of completing a 5km 'Tough Mudder' course in West Sussex. They hope to raise over £5k to support disabled children and their families.
Last week, Olivia and her family were invited to Millwall's training base at Calmont Road to meet the squad and raise awareness - check out the video below!
