NINE-year-old Milla Frobisher faces an uphill struggle every day of her life after she was born at just 24 weeks as a triplet.

Milla and sisters Louisa and Jewel were born weighing just 1lb 6oz each and, at age one, Milla was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy and is wheelchair-bound.

Her sister Jewel sadly passed away 17 days after birth.

Now Milla and her father Tony will face a literal uphill struggle as the 46-year-old plans to push his daughter up the Malvern Hills in her wheelchair to the Worcestershire Beacon in aid of Make-A-Wish Foundation.

They will be greeted at the top by wife, Rini, and sister Louisa after completing the challenge which will take place on either Friday, May 15 or Saturday, May 16.

Starting at the retail park in Malvern Link, Mr Frobisher will push Milla through the town before safely climbing the Wyche Cutting and up to the summit of Worcestershire Beacon.

The family wanted to support the charity after it sent them on an unforgettable trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Mr Frobisher, a teacher at Kingsway English Centre, Foregate Street who has raised almost £30,000 for four charities since 2007, said: "I have done the long events such as cycling John O''Groats to Land's End and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

"But the time away from my family is hard for my wife looking after the children so I decided to stop doing the long events and do something that I could do in a day but was still a challenge.

"Milla enjoys being outside and we did the Acorns Triple Run together as a family - Milla seemed to really enjoy that.

"My training at the moment is just daily life, we have to do a lot of lifting and carrying and I'm still cycling as much as I can.

"I think it is going to be physically challenging and mentally challenging as well.

"The reason I've chosen that route up to the beacon is because you're not going off road, you're on a gravelly path.

"I've pushed her part of the way up previously and the path is smooth enough to push her in her wheelchair.

"For an able bodied, fit person, it doesn't represent more than a brisk, bracing walk but pushing Milla in her wheelchair up the steep slopes of Malvern and the hills will be a challenge.

"The distance may not be that far, nor the highest peak of the Malvern Hills be anywhere near Kilimanjaro or Everest, but this is Milla's event."

As well as the Malvern Hills challenge, Mr Frobisher is busy creating the second volume of Milla's Cookbook after the first book sold out.

He plans to print 500 copies and hopes to have them on sale around September-time.
