Story

I am raising money for the Tree of Hope in support of Lucas Turnbull finding his feet. Lucas has spastic diplegia but there is an operation that can help! He's now 3 (and a half) and can't walk or stand without help due to the rigid muscles in his legs. It can't be cured but his quality of life can be improved by Selective Dorsal Rhyzotomy (an operation pioneered by an amazing doctor in St Louis, USA). This operation will relieve the tension and pain, prevent more invasive surgery later in life, make physiotherapy twice as effective, and be the first step to get him walking independently.
