I am attempting to run 2022k in 2022 for Eddie Ironmonger. We take for granted that we can walk, run, ride bikes.
Please sponsor me £1 or £2 per month for the year or more to help Eddie get an operation to exercise for life! That is only £12 or £24 to make a huge difference to a little boy.

Eddie has spastic diplegia, which affects the muscle control and coordination in his legs and arms, making them stiff and contracted, which has left him unable to walk and can be painful. A
Eddie has recently had an appointment at Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool for Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR). SDR is a surgical
procedure that involves dividing and cutting some of the nerves in the spinal cord that contribute to spasticity in the lower limbs. The operation will improve Eddie's mobility and quality of life. However, this is not available to Edward with NHS funding as he cannot walk, he doesn't meet the criteria.
A very sociable and happy little boy, Eddie has lots of friends and wants to be able to interact with them on the same level. He currently uses a walking frame and loves riding his bike but can't stay in
them for long due to the tightness in his legs. This operation should help expand Eddie's world and allow him to ride his bike and play with his cousins and friends at their level.
They need to raise £20,000 for the operation and
aftercare. Please help us raise this money and help Eddie have this operation
