Jack’s Story 

Our gorgeous little boy is 6 years old. He is happy, funny, cheeky and extremely determined. We are incredibly proud of him and his twin sister.

If you saw Jack with his friends you wouldn’t easily pick him out – until the running around starts. He cannot keep up, falls over all the time and tires very easily. It is often heartbreaking to watch. 

Jack was diagnosed with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy when he was a year old. The stiffness in his legs is getting worse as he grows. This could lead to deformities and eventually confine him to a wheelchair. 

Our dearest wish is to keep our son ‘on his feet’ and give him the best chance of having the brightest future possible. 

Our aim is to raise £60,000 for theTree of Hope so that Jack can have life changing surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The procedure is called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) and will remove the majority of the spasticity in his legs, enabling Jack to continue to walk.

SDR is not currently available on the NHS, hence our need to fundraise.

All monies raised will pay for the surgery, aftercare, a prolonged course of physiotherapy and any specialist equipment Jack many need. Any excess funds will go directly to the Tree of Hope to help other sick children.
