A FUND-RAISING sale will be held on Saturday to raise money towards the treatment of a five-year-old Jersey girl with brain damage.

Emily Corbally-Langley had a seizure in March 2003 and spent five weeks in intensive care at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where she was found to have extensive brain damage on both sides of the brain.

Family friend Zoe Bisson has organised the sale at St Clement’s Parish Hall this Saturday to raise funds towards helping Emily to learn to walk and talk again.

Zoe said: ‘When Emily returned to Jersey she was on 12 different forms of medication and was unable to sit up, move her limbs, move her eyes, see or make any noises.

Her mother, Suzanne, couldn’t work because Emily required 24-hour care.

Emily’s future was very bleak until Suzanne discovered a revolutionary form of treatment called advanced neuromotor rehabilitation.’ Emily and Suzanne now travel to the UK for five days every two months for treatment at the Institute for Advanced Neuromotor Rehabilitation in west Sussex and Zoe said that the treatment had transformed Emily’s life.
