The treatment was very expensive and so a massive fundraising campaign was established by Sophia's parents. To help raise the funds for the treatment. Kevin Matthew decided to support Sophia by taking on a sky dive with the Red Devils Parachute regiment. Kevin raised £3000 through the sky dive with thanks to sponsors and supporters.
Sophia's treatment was very succesful and she is now about to walk upstairs each evening with the aid of a handrail. She can walk for 30minutes on a treadmill and she can walk into school. Her parents, Nicky and Steph say that this treatment has changed her life significantly and that they are truly thankful to everyone who helped to raise the money needed to undergo the operation.
After the dive Kevin said "What an experience that was, terrifying and yet thrilling. My thanks go to the wonderful Red Devils Parachute Regiment for a safe landing!"
