The Money from last nights man of the match will go towards helping Baby Shannon details below.
Shannon is 22 months old. She has a rare condition called Peters Plus Syndrome. She has had operations on her eyes, which involved putting grafts on her corneas to try to save her sight. Unfortunately Shannon lost her right eye after it became infected following the surgery. Her right eye has now been replaced with a false eye.
The vision in Shannon's left eye is failing and the retina in it must be kept active if Shannon is to be able to retain the partial vision she has.
Shannon's only hope of being able to read and write one day and do some of the things the rest of us take for granted is surgery.
This surgery is available in America and is artificial cornea replacement, known as Keratoprothesis. The cost of this is £27,000. A number of fundraising events have taken place but the amount has not been raised yet. Shannon's sight is running out of time.
Life for a Kid Foundation is helping out my arranging some fundraising events for Shannon and also looking for donations which we can pass onto Shannon.
