Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 28th of April I will be running the 10K Ridge off Roader. I am raising money to help support Ollie Garnett.

In most respects Ollie is a normal, happy 2 ½ year old full of mischief and fun. However Ollie was born 10 weeks prematurely back in July 2010, this has resulting in him having cerebral palsy – this means that the part of the brain that sends signals to the muscles of the lower body and legs is damaged, so that his leg muscles are constantly under tension. This already means he cannot walk or stand without mobility aids and if not treated effectively will lead to deformities of the hips legs and feet as he grows.

However a specialist children’s hospital in St Louis America has developed an operation that has already been successfully performed on over 2000 children with Cerebral palsy called SDR (Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy) This truly is a life changing operation in that it will reduces \ eliminate the tension in Ollie’s legs permanently, prevents or reduces deformities and would give him a good chance of learning to walk independently

This operation costs £60,000 and his parents are working hard to achieve this total. Please help me to help him on his way.
