This means that my legs are very tight and I have to walk on my toes. Also, when I try and walk with my walking frame my legs cross over.I manage to walk short distances with my frame but I get very tired. Because of this and the pain I get in my legs, I have to use my wheelchair. I am very excited to here that I can have an operation in Bristol which will allow me to walk unaided, which means I am one step closer to become a footballer.</span></span></p> <p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: &#39;Segoe UI&#39;, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="line-height: 24px; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;;">The operation needed costs &pound;25.000 and I will need &pound;15.000 to help fund my after care and equipment to support me. As you all can imagine having this operation means the world to me and my family.</span></span></p> <p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: &#39;Segoe UI&#39;, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="line-height: 24px; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;;">I would be very overwhelmed and grateful if you could help by donating here today.</span></span></p> <p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: &#39;Segoe UI&#39;, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="line-height: 24px; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: &#39;Segoe UI&#39;, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="line-height: 24px; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;;">Thank you all so much</span></span></p> </p>
