Ashleigh Botha, was diagnosed with FMD at the very young age of only 12.
At 16, Ashleigh is a beautiful young lady with big dreams and bigger heart.

Following is a letter from Ashleigh’s parents:
Colin and Colleen Botha write;
In addition to Ashleigh's FMD she also suffers from Spondylolithosis of the spine, which has caused her spine to become unstable at the base and to curve by 39 degrees. Her Spinal Surgeon in Cape Town has told us she will possibly need a metal rod, with plates and screws inserted into her spine in the near future.
Ashleigh's doctors have told us to take her to America for treatment.There is a Clinic in Cleveland, USA where FMD treatment is available, which will make Ashleigh's life easier and help with the pain and symptoms she suffers from the disease. Doctors there are willing to help Ashleigh, and also to assess her spinal condition. 
We are trying to raise funds with the help and support of Kobie Potgieter from RE/MAX Independent Properties, due to the very high cost of medical treatment and expenses, as well as the bad Dollar/Rand exchange rate, to enable us to take Ashleigh to America as soon as possible. Your assistance in way of a monetary donation, prizes for lucky draws, or any other possible help will be very greatly appreciated.
With grateful thanks Colin and Colleen Botha
