Story

Thank you for visiting! Together we are fundraising for Operation Ollie (through Tree of Hope)

Over the last week in August 2014, I hope to walk the 100+ mile Heart of England Way from Milford, north of Cannock Chase to Bourton on the Water in the Cotswolds. All of Ollie's family are involved in fundraising for Tree of Hope and I am taking on this challenge. We will raise as much as we can to help pay for the surgery Ollie needs to help him walk and improve his life.

About Operation Ollie

Ollie Dodds is a happy, loving, 3 year old boy, full of life and energy. He was born 7 weeks premature and when he was 18 months old he was diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. His illness affects all of his limbs and means he cannot walk or play with his little brother Noah and big sister Imogen. It also causes him chronic pain and discomfort due to the tension he experiences in his spine.

A procedure called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy could help Ollie reduce this pain and discomfort, and hopefully go a long way towards helping him walk. Unfortunately, it's not available on the NHS. Ollie's best chance of having this specialist treatment is at the world leading specialist unit at the St Louis Children's Hospital in Missouri, US. 

We are trying to raise £50,000 to pay for Ollie's procedure, follow up physiotherapy and travel costs.
