Seven-year-old with cerebral palsy stars in new Boden campaign Holly Greenhow, seven, was born with Athenoid Cerebral Palsy Holly, who is from Cambridgeshire, was chosen to model for Mini Boden In the new campaign, she reveals that she would play all day if she could She follows in the footsteps of M&S disabled child star Seb White For Holly Greenhow, seven, everything from speaking to sitting up is a challenge - all because she was born with Athetoid Cerebral Palsy. But brave Holly, from Cambridgeshire, has refused to let her disability hold her back and has landed a starring role in Boden's new childrenswear campaign. Holly, whose condition was caused by a prolonged loss of oxygen at birth, was chosen after attending a casting earlier this year, where she shone in front of the camera. Brave: Holly Greenhow won't let being born disabled hold her back and appears in a new Mini Boden campaign Proud: Holly's mother Fiona, 42, is thrilled that her daughter has been able to experience modelling for Boden She spent a day in London modelling clothes from the Boden children's range and now features in the Meet and Greet mini campaign on their website. In the Q&A accompanying the campaign, Holly charmingly reveals that the funniest person she knows is her mother and that she would choose to play all day if she ruled the world. 'Holly has a beautiful smile and modelling is not all about being perfect, so we thought why shouldn't she be considered,' said her mother Fiona, 42. 'There are lots of things she can't do and will never be able to do because of her disabilities, so it was really nice for her to have this experience. 'I hope it will help the image of disabled children and also open people's eyes to the fact there are lots of children out there who aren't perfect.' Holly, who has a 10-year-old brother named Oliver, was born with Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, which affects her movement, balance and speech. She uses a wheelchair to get around and has only recently started to communicate using a special computer system operated by her eyes - similar to that used by physicist Professor Steven Hawking who suffers from Motor Neurone Disease. Challenge: Because of her condition, Holly is unable to walk and can only talk using an eye-operated computer Adorable: Boden say they are thrilled that Holly made the cut during an open casting held last May But the seven-year-old has always enjoyed choosing her own clothes, so her mother thought she might like to try modelling. 'My mum suggested it as Holly loves pretty clothes and particularly likes wearing those designed by Boden,' explained Fiona, a trade manager for Tesco. Holly has so many things against her and as her mother I just wanted her to be able to do something that any child could or would love to do, given the chance. She went for a casting in April and did the shoot in the summer holidays with lots of other children at a studio in London. 'Holly really enjoyed it and loved being the centre of attention and we're really pleased with the finished results.' Fiona, whose husband Paul, 45, is head of sales for a food manufacturer, hopes that Holly may now have the chance to do some more modelling work, following in the footsteps of other disabled child models such as Seb White who appeared in Marks & Spencer's 2012 Christmas campaign. Pioneer: Seb White (right), who has Down's Syndrome, appeared in last year's M&S Christmas campaign Zena Botha, the studio shoot and model manager for Boden, said the company 'was delighted that Holly made the cut.' She added: 'We are always happy to invite our Mini Boden fans along to model castings and we were delighted that Holly made the cut. 'Holly was charming and we're very pleased with the shoot, which is live now on boden.co.uk.' Matt Jackson, head of campaigns at the disability charity Scope said: 'There has certainly been a lack of diversity in kids modelling campaigns to date, which means that disabled children are often not represented. 'The fact that Holly has cerebral palsy and will feature in Boden's advertising will certainly help to challenge some of the misunderstandings and prejudice that can make life difficult for so many disabled children.'
