Vanda underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour in 2011. Although successful, it left her unable to communicate. She was referred to INRU for rehabilitation after a further operation to fit a titanium plate in her skull,
Will said: “All the nurses and therapists that looked after her were absolutely brilliant. Although it’s been a tough journey, she absolutely loved the team at Moseley Hall and she became friendly with some of the other patients too.
“She’s come on in leaps and bounds thanks to the care and support she’s received and, although her communication skills are not what they were before the operation, she can engage very well with family members now.
“I’m grateful to two teams – INRU and New Saints – for the amazing support they’ve given our family.”
First team coach Joe Thompson said: “The idea is for the club to hold a charity fundraiser every year and choose a good cause that is personal to us in some way.
“We’re just very pleased to be able to show our support for Will and Vanda and for the team who helped her rehabilitation. A ‘thank you’ from one successful team to another!”
