Leo was born 10 weeks premature and suffered a pre birth haemorrhage in his brain resulting in him getting Hemplegia cerebral palsy. Because of his Hemiplegia Leo has high muscle tone in his leg and arm and that results in a form of toe poking and closed fist. There is a life changing new pioneering operation that Leo can have called Selective Dorsal Rhizontmy (SDR). Unfortunately the NHS will not
fund this and we will have to go private in America. Without this Leo is going to find it really difficult to be mobile for the rest of his life. All donation to his Tree of hope charity page will pay for the operation in the USA,flights, accommodation and the intense physiotherapy which is mandatory. The cost of the SDR operation with the founder Dr Park of the St. Louis childrens hospital ranges between $46,000-$59,000 that is £41,000 This is inclusive of physicians professional fees. Hospital charges and 3 weeks of outpatient therapy. This is our son and no matter what disability he has he will always be loved and taken care off. but as a father and mother it is our duty to do the best we can for our son and a brother to Jake. Trying to raise £70,000 is a mighty big ask but we will die trying and we will be putting Leo on that flight to America in the next 2 years. so please donate what you can, Share and like his page. Tell your friends to do the same. we can all do this and help leo to walk.
