A little boy named Ollie (born 3 months early) was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was a year old. This mostly affects his legs and means he is unable to walk unaided and also means that by the age of 15 he will be confined to a wheelchair. However, there is potentially light at the end of the tunnel in the shape of a pioneering operation called SDR. Ollie has already seen a specialist who strongly believes that the SDR operation will greatly improve Ollie’s quality of life and potentially keep him from being wheelchair bound. The only downside is this operation is no longer available on the NHS and the cost to give Ollie his legs is over £40,000 due to the many months of intense Physiotherapy required to make it a success. We want to give Ollie the chance to live as normal a life as possible, and we are now starting on the journey so Ollie can take his ‘next steps’
