Proudly made in Cork for 60 years • Michael Ahern and Michael Hayes from East Cork Rapid Response on the tenth hole at East Cork Golf Club Time For Tilara’s Treatment Trust Tilara Costa Holmes
is a beautiful, intelligent, mischievous 5-year-old little
girl who lives in
Midleton Cork. At 12 months old, she was diag- nosed with Spastic Diple- gia Cerebral Palsy. Tilara’s
condition
means she experiences ongoing chronic pain which she suffers from each and every day. These
painful spasms
continue into every night and affect her ability to sleep. Her muscle prob- lems restrict movement essential for normal ac- tivities such as walking, sitting, crawling and roll- ing - all activities most other 5-year-old children and their parents take for granted. Despite these challeng-
es, Tilara is a very happy little
girl who loves her
school and her friends in St. John the Baptists Pri- mary School, Midleton. Tilara has luckily been
accepted by Dr. T.S. Park to undergo life changing surgery in the USA which
will relieve her chronic pain and help her to walk. €140k must
be raised
to make this happen. A tough task, however it is one her family and sup- porters are determined to achieve. To date we have raised almost €36k. SDR is a complex spi- nal surgical that
involves cutting
some of the nerve fibres that cause the Spasticity in Cerebral Palsy.
surgery and SDR
is a very individual and expensive
requires an intense after- care programme. For Tilara, the
out-
come we hope for is a ‘pain free life’. The possibility of im-
proved mobility, inde- pendently sitting or the ability to stand or walk- ing for short durations with the aid of functional devices are all things that may be possible, but we don’t dare to dream of them, yet.
To undergo
SDR we must commit to 2 years of a rehabilitation process which
includes intensive physiothera-
py hydrotherapy, hippo therapy and the need for specialised equipment to maximise the outcome. We are realistic about the attainable
goals procedure
which will be set for Ti- lara and her future. We have thought long and hard about SDR and re- alise that this is the only option for Tilara to live a pain free life. We
urge you to fol-
low and support Tilara’s treatment and give her the pain free
existence
she deserves. Please help keep Tilara’s beautiful smile always smiling.
