Charitable Sellers

Sellers International Youth Band has done their bit to help a great charitable cause.

Sellers Youth
 

Sellers International Youth Band recently performed at a charity Summer Fayre, where the proceeds from the event went to the Annabelle Rose Trust.

Tiny

Annabelle Rose was born 10 weeks prematurely and spent the first 8 weeks of her life in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit at Leeds General Infirmary. She was a tiny 3lb 6oz and was unable to breath on her own.

She was diagnosed with Quadriplegic Spastic Cerebral Palsy, and her family advised that she would be unable to walk, talk, see or feed herself. Whilst she is unable to walk, she has defied all predictions and she is very vocal, feeds herself and has such a lovely, charming personality.

Campaign

A campaign to raise awareness has been launched of a procedure that is undertaken to offer a better life to children who suffer from Cerebral Palsy.

If you would like to donate to the trust please visit: http://www.annabellerosetrust.org/
