Shivam, Devam, Isaac and Noah want to raise money to help support their dear friend Vinay.

Vinay has cerebral palsy. He is unable to stand alone and cannot walk without the aid of his walking frame or tripod sticks and needs his wheelchair for longer distances. His condition causes the muscles in his legs to be very tight, which is known as spasticity.

There is, however, the chance of a life changing operation carried out by Great Ormond Street Hospital, in London – an operation called SDR, Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy. To put this simply, this is an operation done by making a small incision at the lower back and testing the nerves individually by using electrical currents, which then shows which nerves are sending ‘faulty’ signals from his brain to his muscles to cause the spasticity. The ‘faulty’ ones are then carefully cut, to help reduce the spasticity.

Vinay's mum needs £60,000 to make his dream of walking unaided possible. Our boys wanted to do something to help and decided to raise money by doing a sponsored 5K run on the 11th March.

All monies will be added to hope4vinay's just giving page once run is complete.
