AN anonymous donor has stumped up £37,000 to help a woman with cerebral palsy walk again.
The gift meant Jade Owen, 20, could have surgery in the US.
Jade underwent a selective dorsal rhizotomy aimed at reducing spasticity – plus two other operations for her disability.
The spinal op was not available on the NHS.
She needed to raise a total of £60,000 for the surgery – and the unknown donor chipped in with the huge sum to make her dreams come true.
Jade, in a wheelchair since she was 11, is now able walk with assistance.

Her mum Jane, 41, said: “Fundraising had been very challenging. Someone anonymous saw Jade’s post and wanted to privately donate.
“Our family had been fundraising for a long time.”
Jade, of Bridgend, South Wales, said: “I feel amazing. I’m in shock.
“I wish I could meet the person who donated. I’m just so grateful.”
Jade now plans to get involved with musical theatre and has also been accepted to do modelling.
She said: “It’s very exciting.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
