Concert 4 Anna a huge success
[singlepic id=2250 w=320 h=240 float=right]On February 24th, a concert was held here at Kilgraston to raise funds for Anna Penman, a beautiful and brave four-year-old girl with both spinal muscular atrophy and leukaemia.
Mum Ann-Marie said: “Anna was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy in July 2011 which means her muscles are very weak.
“She can’t walk and her arm movement is severely restricted so she needs help with everything she’s doing. Anna was then diagnosed with leukaemia last December.”
She added: “Nobody has ever had both conditions before, as far as we know, so there is no precedent for treatment.
“The life-saving chemotherapy has had a devastating impact on the little strength she had left in her legs and we don’t know if, or when, it might return.”
The concert was a huge success and raised over £1,300 towards a state-of-the-art “Snapdragon” chair. The packed audience was treated to a medley of wonderful music and singing from all ages. Here some photos from what was a wonderful night for a wonderful little girl.
