Brooke is 14 years old and suffers from a very rare condition known as Early Onset Generalised Primary Torsion Dystonia. It is progressive and degenerative.
Over the past twelve months her condition has been deteriorating despite the very best efforts of the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.
Brooke desperately needs a surgical procedure known as Deep Brain Stimulation. The Children's Hospital can do this surgery for her, but to do it they need a piece of equipment called a stereotactic frame to enable the surgeons to position the electrodes with pin point accuracy so we are seeking assistance to raise $50,000 to help purchase this for the Royal Children's Hospital.
This frame will not only help Brooke but other children in the future who will also benefit from it. Without surgery the future is bleak for Brooke, this offers her, her only hope. www.brookestarsdream.com
