Tom is 16 years old and is our superhero. 

Tom fought Meningitis as a baby which resulted in him having Cerebral Palsy and is partially sighted as a result. He has gone on to overcome so much in his life with his amazing personality, confidence and love of life. He has even raised money himself by taking part in the Junior Great North Run which was a massive achievement for him. 

In March 2020 he woke one morning and was completely paralysed from the armpit down. He was subsequently diagnosed with a neurological disease which has affected his spine. Tom lost a bit of his sparkle and confidence that day. 

His family have finally been given some light at the end of the tunnel which will dramatically improve Tom's life in the form of SDR surgery. This is pioneering surgery performed by an amazing Neurosurgeon at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. Unfortunately, due to Tom's age and severity of his problems this is not funded by the NHS. 

So please help us raise money for Tom's surgery to give him a better quality of life. Tom may never walk again but this surgery will free his body of pain and discomfort.  

Do it for Tom!!!
