#Helpmaxwalk

Fundraising for Therapies

Here is the revised version with grammar and spelling corrections:

Maximus was born prematurely at 31 weeks, not breathing, and was in the Colchester neonatal unit for 3 weeks. The care he received was tremendous, but unfortunately, Maximus contracted multiple infections that spread to his brain and damaged the white matter, causing Cerebral Palsy Diplegia. This now affects the movement of his legs and his balance, so Max is unable to walk without assistance.

At 3, Maximus was taken under the care of Great Ormond Street, where he was assessed for a pioneering new treatment called SDR. Two days before his 3rd birthday, we received the amazing news that the NHS agreed to fund the operation, but due to the postcode lottery, the intensive physio aftercare is down to us.

Maximus attends physio at Mini Wonders Ltd, where Neil is his best friend and physiotherapist.

We are hoping to get Maximus as much support as possible to enable him to lead an independent life and be able to walk unaided.

Thank you very much for your support. xxx

7.5% of all donations to Tree of Hope in relation to this appeal will be allocated to the general charitable purposes of Tree of Hope to cover our core operating costs.

If we raise insufficient funds, or surplus funds, then the funds will be used, if appropriate, to fund support for our child’s needs in accordance with Tree of Hope’s charitable objects. If in those circumstances we are unable to use all or part of the funds for the benefit of our child in accordance with Tree of Hope’s charitable objectives, then any funds that cannot be used will be transferred to be used for the general charitable purposes of Tree of Hope.
