Ollie's Next Step
Campaign by Blossom (RCN 1148193)
Blossom is raising funds for Ollie to have a pioneering and life changing operation called SDR which will greatly improve Ollie’s quality of life and potentially keep him from being wheelchair bound.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.



Our friends' son Ollie (born 3 months early) was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was a year old. This mostly affects his legs and means he is unable to walk unaided and also means that by the age of 15 he will be confined to a wheelchair. However, there is potentially light at the end of the tunnel in the shape of a pioneering operation called SDR (selective Dorsal Rhizotomy). Ollie is able to have this operation but unfortunately the operation is no longer available on the NHS and the cost to give Ollie his legs is over £40,000 due to the many months of intense Physiotherapy required to make it a success.



Ollie is an amazing little boy who we spend a huge amount of time with. He has an infectious smile and an unbelievable personality. He has experienced more challenges in his 6 years that most of us ever will and we know what a difference this surgery will make to his life.



So please help us raise the much needed funds for Ollie so that he can avoid being confined to a wheelchair and enjoy a better quality of life.
