Just4Children are raising money for physio, hydrotherapy and any specialist equipment and treatments Teddy needs to get the best outcome from his SDR surgery.

The operation itself is on the lower spinal cord, where they cut the damaged nerve fibres that cause the high muscle tone. The goal of SDR is to relax the muscles by identifying and cutting only those nerve fibres that contribute to the spasticity (muscle stiffness).

The operation is just the start and is by no means a miracle cure. To gain the most from the surgery, Teddy will require increased strength training in the lead up to the surgery, followed by 2 years of intensive post op therapy.

The NHS can only offer so much so Just4Children are hoping to raise the funds for everything he needs - private physio, hydrotherapy, equipment and anything else he requires in the 2 years of intensive post op therapy.

This operation has the potential to be life changing for our son and we want to ensure that it is, by supporting him in the very best way we can by giving him the best care. It will give Teddy the best possible results and give him the best quality of life and opportunities for his future and independence.

Thank you for taking the time to read Ted's story and we would like to thank you in advance for your support on Teddy’s journey.

SDR surgery changes lives but we need your help!
