I became my sister's carer at six - she amazes me every day

Sarah Lilly began caring for her younger sister Vicky, who was born with quadriplegic and athetoid cerebral palsy, at age six, and the pair have navigated decades of challenges including inconsistent care services, a traumatic assault during 2020 lockdown, and secondary health issues as Vicky ages. Despite these hurdles, Vicky has thrived, winning gold medals in inclusive wheelchair dance, enjoying karaoke, and gaining independence with support from Cerebral Palsy Midlands in Birmingham, where Sarah now works.
