Sophie’s birthday surprise could become unforgettable if the footballer accepts. Diagnosed at just 10 weeks old with hydrocephalus—a dangerous build-up of fluid in the brain requiring multiple surgeries—and cerebral palsy, Sophie has spent much of her young life in hospitals. Cerebral palsy, which affects movement and coordination, is a condition she shares with Jack Grealish’s younger sister.
