From Lara:
"My name is Lara Sutherland, I’m 16 years old.
I love animals, helping others, writing and dancing.
I was diagnosed with a rare liver disease, Biliary Atresia when I was a 6 week old baby and became incredibly ill.
I was blessed with a liver transplant at 7 months old which aided me to be able to live a fuller life.
Unfortunately, I became sick again in 2013 and spent most of my time in the hospital up until I was gifted another liver transplant in 2016, when I was 9.
Ever since then I have been able to experience things that normal kids and teenagers would be able to experience and even found a deep passion for dancing.
I have come a long way from where I began and am proud to announce that I and my hip hop crew have been chosen to participate in world championships for hip hop in Portugal.
I’d really would love to attend but need help raising funds to get there, if you can offer help I would be so grateful."

From Samantha, Laras Mum:
"Beyond proud of my girl and her team Rangers, who qualified for Hip Hop Unite World Champs in Portugal this October!!! This gorgeous girl has overcome two liver transplants, multiple surgeries, years of hospital and daily ongoing pain, thru hard work, determination and most of all her love of dance (both kpop and hip hop). She just loves to perform and compete and dancing is the one thing that has kept her going through some really tough years.
We will be planning our fundraising because I’m not sure how we will afford this so if anyone has fundraising ideas (for team and for Lara) please let me know, if anyone wants to sponsor Lara personally or with their business, and if anyone knows of contact/temp work I can mostly do at home (I’m a bookkeeper, small business office management, website updates & optimisation but can do lots more) please hit me up with ideas! Thanks"
