iOS Game Helps Disabled Girl Get Operation Allowing Her To Walk. Future x Charity = Awesome.

Grace Windrum is a five-year old with  cerebral palsy. Her parents needed   £50,000 (I don’t know what that translates to in American Empire credits) for an operation that would allow her to walk with crutches for the first time. That’s where  Big Ideas Digital came in.

Grace Windrum, a five-year-old girl from the United Kingdom, suffers from cerebral palsy. At the moment, she’s unable to walk. But thanks to a charity drive from an iOS game publisher, she may soon be able to.

Grace’s parents need £50,000 to pay for an operation in a US hospital that will almost certainly enable her to walk, with the assistance of crutches, for the first time in her life.

Having raised £22,268 themselves, Big Ideas Digital ran a promotion for its  Say What You See: The Collection  puzzle game (available on  iPhone  and  iPad), which contributed a further £21,000, leaving Grace on the brink of receiving her operation.

Pretty fucking awesome.
