One of the symptoms that affect Riley is that it causes tightness in his legs, so he is unable stand or to walk independently. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">After researching potential treatments to help Riley walk, we have heard about an operation that so far around 100 UK children have had. This is called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR). This is only offered in America, and has a 100% success rate from the St Louis Children&rsquo;s Hospital in Missouri. They have been carrying out this operation now for over 25 years.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The aim is to raise &pound;45,000 to send Riley to America to the <a href="http://www.stlouischildrens.org/"><span style="color: blue;">St Louis Children&rsquo;s Hospital</span></a> for the SDR operation. To do this we will need as much or as little as you can give, to raise the much needed funds for this amazing little boy.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Anyone interested in helping the&nbsp;Riley&nbsp;Wise&nbsp;Appeal is asked to contact Caudwell Children on 01782 600114 or to donate online visit <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/therileyfund"><span style="color: blue;">www.justgiving.com/therileyfund</span></a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span><strong>Important note to donors:</strong> As long as Riley requires the funds raised to pay for treatment in the United States, Caudwell Children will manage all payments of funds for the family. Should there come a time, for whatever reason, that&nbsp;Riley no longer requires the funds raised for medical treatment and living expenses while in America then the monies raised will be used to provide similar donations to sick and disabled children living within the UK through the charity, Caudwell Children.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">&nbsp;</p> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">&nbsp;</p>
