Oakleys Story. Hi, we have been holding a range of events since 2013 to raise money for our 8yr old son Oakley. The fundraising target is £80,000 and we would like to thank everybody for their support and fundraising efforts so far, which has enabled Oakley to go to America for an SDR operation, successfully performed By DR T.S PARK in 2013 and four years of physiotherapy and strength conditioning training, getting him up on his feet and taking independent steps and walking short distances. However, we still have a way to go to reach our target. Most recently on the 15th of August 2017 Oakley had a follow up operation called "Hamstring lengthening" which was performed at Southampton general hospital by Dr Caroline Edwards. This operation released/lengthened his ham-strings enabling Oakley to straighten his legs better. After a lot of strength and conditioning training Oakley will be able to walk better and without a painful crouch.
