I want to say a massive thanks to Debbie and Karen for their ongoing help as charity volunteers, I couldn’t do this without them.

A big thank you to my brave, darling son, Lucas, for inspiring me to do write Cast Life and create DDH UK and to Eddie for being the best big brother and to my husband, Oliver, for supporting my work and campaigning and putting up with me talking about hips wherever we go.
As I always say, DDH isn’t life threatening but for many it is life changing so I want to ensure people all over the world have the support they need and no one ever feels alone on their journey towards healthy. hips.
