My story
My name is Corin, I was born on 25th Sept 2008 weighing 4lb 10 ounces.
My mummy went into labour unexpectedly at 31 weeks. For the first 3 weeks of my life I was in NICU(neonatal intensive care unit) at Southmead Bristol.
At 18 months I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy due to my delayed progression of my mobility. This was confirmed with an MRI scan showing scar tissue on both sides of my brain.
Due to this i have always struggled with basic skills such as sitting, crawling and especially standing. Im 3 and a half now and i still struggle to sit and play. My main way to get around is to crawl or get Mummy and Daddy to carry me.
Just before my 3rd birthday I was given a Kaye walker which has helped me have some independence however I tire easily and I am not expected to ever walk without it.
As i cant walk, I run and play football on my knees I am hoping that Mummy and Daddy will be able to raise enough money for me to have the life changing operation SDR(selective dorsal rhyzitomy) so that I can play like all the other children.
Corin is such a happy boy and always brings a smile to peoples faces. Anyone who has met him knows how much of a personality he has. He has inspired us so much with his positive attitude and how much hard work he puts into his daily routine of exercise and stretching. We would love to make it possible with this operation that he could take his first unaided steps.
We are hoping to raise enough money to cover the costs of the operation and the intensive physiotherapy that will be needed afterwards. If you would like to know more about SDR please go to this web page http://www.scope.org.uk/help-and-information/z-therapies/selective-dorsal-rhizotomy
Any donations no matter how small will be massively appreciated to make my dream come true. Corin xx

As you can see we are now over our target. Thank you very much everyone who has donated and supported our cause. If people still wish to donate corin will be needing at least two years of physio therapy and will still be put to a fantastic use.
