Thank you everyone who has made this possible. Fundraising is still needed for the ongoing physiotherapy, appointments, equipment so thank you for whatever you may be able to contribute.

THE ORIGINAL STORY
Oscar Cridge is an amazing young man who is 4 years old, he has cerebral palsy and needs a life-changing SDR operation to walk unaided, with everyone's help this is possible.

The biggest hope is a surgical procedure called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) which, although invasive, has an extremely high success rate and in the vast majority of cases significantly improves the patient’s quality of life. The procedure aims to reduce spasticity (tight and stiff muscle tone) in the lower limbs; this will reduce the amount of pain he experiences. The operation also improves mobility and increases independence. We are hopeful, that eventually, it will lead to Oscar being able to walk independently.
