ABOUT PIA

Pia is our 2-year old daughter diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy.

Pia has quadriplegic (all four limbs affected) spastic CP, the most common form of CP, affecting her legs more than her arms.

For Pia, the main battle is against her constant muscle tightness (spasticity). While CP itself isn't degenerative or progressive, spasticity is!

As time goes by, it will cause permanent deformities in Pia's bones and muscles that cannot be fixed.

This is why it is so important to reduce or eliminate the spasticity at an early age.

We have started fundraising for Pia as she is in need of a life changing surgery, SDR, which will allow her to walk and live a life free of pain.

We need your help to keep the way bright and hopeful for Pia.

We need your help to give her the chance to run around with her twin brother, Felix, hike with us as a family, climb stairs, ride a bike, splash in the rain puddles and bath tub, play with friends, pick up leaves in the fall.

We need your help to give her the independence and dignity she needs and deserves now and for her future, from moving, eating, dressing and going to the bathroom on her own.

All of those things you wish and dream for your own children, we wish for Pia.

Pia needs your help.

The surgery, SDR, involves removing bone from Pia's spine to access her spinal cord to test and cut the nerves causing her spasticity.

SDR will significantly improve Pia's chance at walking, reduce her pain from spasms and muscle tightness and greatly increase her quality of life, now and in the long-term.

We are fundraising to cover the costs of SDR surgery (to take place by Dr. Park in St. Louis, Missouri, USA) and the years of required physical therapy following. As we are not residents of the US, we are responsible for the costs as it is not covered by our insurance where we reside in Germany.
