Biography

Kelis is 10 years old and lives in Northampton. She has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and epilepsy as a result of a severe birth trauma called hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, which left her fighting for her life. After 6 days in hospital and a further 5 days at Rainbows Children's Hospice for end of life care, Kelis’s determination shone through and with a massive 360 turn we were able to take her home.

From a few months old Kelis has done daily therapy, which has been key to helping her body develop and her brain rewire new pathways around the damage. She works tirelessly doing physiotherapy, hippotherapy, occupational therapy, hydrotherapy, speech and language, conductive education, strength and conditioning and home workouts alongside some fun hidden therapy such as cycling, horse riding, dance and gaming!

Kelis has endured 3 major surgeries in the last 5 years but this hasn't stopped her being a determined, strong minded and sassy girl in the quest to fulfil her dream of being independent.
