Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Katie, Katia, Kev, Marion and Thomas's dad Brian are doing a mud run together!  25 muddy obstacles spread over Cornbury Park.

Thomas and his twin brother Dylan arrived 4 years ago, 10 weeks premature. They are wonderful boys now. However, an MRI scan at 2 years of age confirmed that Thomas has some neurological damage, which has resulted in cerebral palsy.

He can't walk independently, but is getting better every day, and now whizzes around on his Kaye walker and generally loves live.

He needs SDR (selective dorsal rhizotomy) surgery to increase his chances of walking.  Unfortunately, the NHS does not cover the cost of this operation.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
