Charlotte Roberts wants to be able to walk, dance and have fun with her friends at school — just like any other little girl. But the smiling six-year-old’s dreams are frustratingly out of reach. Charlotte, from Chadderton, lives with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy, which means she can’t walk or even sit unaided. The youngster, who also has epilepsy, a severe vision impairment and a shunt in her brain to prevent a build up of pressure and fluid, spent almost all the first two years of her life in hospital, battling every day.
