Lucas has spastic diplegia but there is an operation that can help! He's now 3 (and a half) and can't walk or stand without help due to the rigid muscles in his legs. It can't be cured but his quality of life can be improved by Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (an operation pioneered by an amazing doctor in St Louis, USA). This operation will relieve the tension and pain, prevent more invasive surgery later in life. Please help him, stand on his own, walk and ride a bike.
Now its close to the end of the year and we are all getting close to the original £50 000 target. We can not believe we are almost there. After speaking to others and reviewing all expenses we have a better idea of travelling/accomodation costs, a possible orthopaedic operation and future physiotherapy (most importantly the physiotherapy).
There are many people still fundraising for the Tree of Hope to help Lucas so we have agreed to increase the target to £60 000.
