Girl, 14, born with condition which stopped her moving as a baby

A girl has undergone numerous surgeries throughout her life after she was born with a condition that prevented her from moving.

Heidi Rogerson was born with developmental dysplasia of the hip which meant as a baby she couldn't move or crawl. She was later diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - a condition which causes all her joints to dislocate.

In the following years the 14-year-old from North Wales was further diagnosed with Beals-Hecht Syndrome, cerebral palsy, scoliosis of the spine and miserable malalignment syndrome. Heidi has undergone a number of surgeries throughout her life at Alder Hey Children's Hospital but has still been told it would be an "impossible feat" to follow her dreams.
