Hollie was born with Rubenstein Taybi Syndrome. She started to walk at the age of 5 and then her right patella dislocated at the age of 8 and she underwent extensive surgery. This was successful for a while and she began to walk. At the age of 10 Hollie's left patella then dislocated as did her right again.It was dediced by the surgical team at Great Ormond St that there was no surgery that could be performed and we were told that Hollie would never walk again.At the age of 11 Hollie was wheel chair bound and has remained and will remain in a wheelchair for life. Hollie is an amazing young girl who never complains and puts a smile on everybody's face as soon as they meet her. She is an inspiration to everyone who has the pleasure of meeting her.
