Fundraising Events to Help 3-year Old Walk

Nottinghamshire , UK - Fundraising events will take place across Nottinghamshire to pay for surgery which could help a child walk for the first time.  Three-year-old Theo Hunt suffers from spastic diplegia [a type of cerebral palsy]. He was due to have selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery at Queen’s Medical Centre in February, which could have given him the ability to walk.  However, funding for the £45,000 operation was pulled by NHS England as Theo was missing one of the tests required for the selective surgery, despite a number of other families getting the go-ahead.  Theo’s mum, Melissa Hunt, pledged to raise the money herself for the operation after the heartbreaking decision and is even considering taking Theo to America for treatment.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
