As part of the ongoing team effort at Steele Raymond LLP, I am raising money to help a seriously ill young girl Esmai, and her grandparents, to go to the non profit ‘Give Kids the World’ village in Florida. The village specialises in giving incredible experiences to children with life threatening conditions.

Esmai suffered complications at the time of her birth, and as a result has serious brain damage, cerebral palsy, uncontrolled epilepsy and is peg fed, with life saving medication sent straight to her heart.

The cost of the trip is between £5000-£8000 to get Esmai, her grandparents and her important equipment to Florida safely and back. We have had valiant efforts so far throughout the firm, such as the plane pull, Patrick’s half marathon and Robin’s journey to beat her personal best, however now it’s time for me to pick up the gauntlet.

The date of the spin is the 18th March at the Jodie Anne Fitness gym, and it will last four hours (no easy feat). I’ve managed to rope in a few friends/colleagues too, and will be joined by Yazmin Ali, Gemma Childs, Bella Rolph, Megan Sumner and Robin James, all in our best 80s workout gear!

Please give what you can- this truly is a once in a lifetime experience for Esmai, and every penny helps towards getting her on that plane!
