5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

A girl with cerebral palsy, who was told she would never walk unaided, has been offered a place at the English National Ballet School. Six-year-old Matilda Duncan, known as Tilly, had pioneering surgery after best friend Casey Burke, five, and mum Suzanne, started a fundraising campaign. Tilly's mum, Rachel Knowles, said, "We're over the moon... She loves dancing and now she can." This clip is originally from Wednesday 3 September 2014.
