George is 7, he was born five weeks early and weighed just 3lb 2oz. He suffered some damage to his brain which has resulted in him having Cerebral Palsy and, in his case, it is known as Hemiplegia.

George’s family applied to Dr Parks in St. Louis Hospital US and on June 30 this year they got the fantastic news that George is a suitable candidate for the op!

George has a place reserved for the operation in February 2012 but we need to raise £45,000 to get him to America and to pay for the life changing operation. To aid George’s condition he will also be having Orthopaedic surgery whilst there.

Please give any thing you can spare to George’s appeal – everything helps, no matter how small. Click here to donate via JustGiving.com.
