Please Help Jonny to Walk

Jonny has cerebral palsy and his parents are trying hard to raise money for him to have an operation in America that will help him out of a wheelchair and help him to walk a bit as well.

The operation is expensive as it involves sectioning and cutting of some of the sensory nerve fibres that cause spasticity. The abnormal nerve rootlets are selectively and then cut, leaving the normal rootlets intact.

The results are permanent and when combined with an intensive physiotherapy post-op programme and for some children additional orthopaedic surgery to lengthen muscles, can result in life-changing mobility improvements.

For children who can already walk, this can result in independent walking without an assistive device. For children like Johnny, who are wheelchair-bound, this will mean the difference between a wheelchair all day vs. the freedom of being able to take his own steps.

Knapman & Sons has donated £500.00 to help Jonny’s parents with the cost for the operation which is estimated at £70,000.00.

Please help us to raise the money by clicking on the picture above and then donating as much as you can possibly afford.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas & a Happy and Prosperous New Year from all at Knapman & Sons
