Story

I am rasing money for a wonderful little 5 year old boy, Paul Doherty. Paul has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and needs to raise 60,000 euros to have a life changing operation that will allow him to walk.

Since Paul could talk he always told his mum "Mammy, I want to walk" and there is an operation in America called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) that will give him that chance. Paul has been assessed for this operation and has been accepted. 

This operation has been a successful part of cerebral palsy treatment in the USA for years. The NHS have just recently decided to trial the operation for 120 children in the UK. Paul lives in Ireland and by the time the operation is available there it will be too late for him.

Please help me to help Paul's dream of walking become a reality. To see more of the great work being done for Paul then check out his Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/mammyiwanttowalk?fref=ts.

 

Thank you xxx
