MAISIE'S MISSION TO LIVE
Maisie is a 25-year-old mum, partner and dog groomer, who in 2021 slipped at home and sustained a traumatic neck injury called CCI (Craniocervical Instability). ​
Maisie needs urgent fusion surgery to stabilise her neck but this is not available on the NHS, and no longer available privately in the UK. For an explanation as to why this is the case please refer to our FAQs.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​Maisie has been suffering now for 4 years. She spends most of her time bedridden with excruciating headaches, blurred vision, vertigo and memory loss.​​​​​​​​​​​ She wants nothing more than to get her life back, go out and spend time with her family, and play with her young daughter.
​
For this to be a possibility ​we need your help. We have set up a GoFundMe to fund her treatment overseas and need to raise £45,000.
​
The only countries that currently treat her condition are Spain and America. Spain is closer and cheaper, and given Maisie's fragile state it will be easier to transport her to Barcelona by car rather than fly her to the US.
Barcelona has an award winning medical centre run by expert neurosurgeons specialising in Craniocervical Instability. There are only a small handful of these specialists in the whole world.
​​​
​​Surgery gives Maisie hope, and a chance to bring up her little girl.
Please help us by donating, supporting us with our community fundraising efforts, or sponsoring us as a company (any company that sponsors us will be mentioned on our website).
If you are not in a position to do the above please SHARE our story.
It would mean the world to us! The more we share the more people we reach.
Every little bit helps and will be greatly appreciated!
If you want to get involved with our fundraising efforts please email us.
Same goes for sponsorship or press.

IMPORTANT
*There is a possibility that we will incur additional medical costs. Maise has been on the waiting list for a long time and hospital fees are predicted to increase in March 2026. Maisie might also need a more extensive surgery (longer fusion) as time drags on. Every day we delay treatment Maisie deteriorates, risking further irreversible damage to her body, and larger medical bills*
