Chris Platt is raising money for Tree of Hope
Story
Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page.
I’m going to run the 2014 Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday 25th May. I'm doing this for Wesley's Wish - a charity appeal setup to help a little boy from Leeds learn to walk.
Please sponsor me if you're able to.
More about Wesley's Wish...
Wes was born at 31 weeks and, shortly after birth, suffered damage to the part of his brain that deals with motor control. As a result, he cannot sit, crawl, stand or walk.
There is hope, however, in the form of a pioneering neurosurgical procedure called 'Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy' (SDR). This operation is coupled with a long-term course of specialist physiotherapy. Thousands of children in Wesley's condition have benefitted from these treatments and are now walking, rather than in wheelchairs.
Wesley's Wish exists to raise funds to give Wes this life-changing chance. We're working with Tree of Hope, who are helping us to fundraise: 100% of everything donated will be ringfenced for Wes.
