Please help me raise as much money for Lucas as possible to enable him to stand on his own,  walk and ride a bike

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 Rhizotomy (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. 

Lucas has been accepted for SDR in St Louis Hospital, Missouri by the doctor who pioneered this operation.  He was also recently referred to Great Ormond Street (GOSH) in London as a private patient.  This operation is not routinely funded by the NHS and neither is the extensive physiotherapy that will be needed as a follow up.

The operation will cost £50 000 (a bit less if he’s accepted at GOSH).  Please help us change Lucas’s life by helping in anyway you can.  

All donations will go to the charity, Tree of Hope.  Tree of Hope will then help Lucas.

Remember to give gift aid

Thank you for your help!
