14-year-old Megan Owen of Lancashire, England, is getting a treat that many adult women would give their eye teeth to receive. Megan fascinated with fashion and pretty shoes, the same as many other girls her age. Unfortunately, Megan has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), making most shoes unavailable to her. Here’s more from the Lancashire Evening Post:

Over the years, Megan’s disease has got progressively worse and she can now no longer move any of her limbs at all.

Megan’s condition means her feet point downwards like a ballet dancer’s and she cannot bend them.

As a result, she cannot wear shoes, although she is fascinated by them and longs to own a pair.

Her mum Karen said: “Megan is a real girly girl and loves pink and glitter and is obsessed with shoes.

“When Megan was born, we thought she was a normal healthy little girl.

The Make A Wish people are making sure Megan gets some special treatment related to her love of footwear. Famed shoe designer Jimmy Choo has promised to close his exclusive London store in order to give Megan a personal tour.

Make A Wish grants wishes for children with life-threatening conditions.

For more about Megan’s wish, read the story in this week’s Lancashire Evening Post.
