Harry & CP's SDR Hope

Thank you for taking the time to view my page and read our story.

My name is Harry, and I’m a cheeky 4-year-old boy living with quadriplegic cerebral palsy. I love Fireman Sam, dinosaurs, and Peppa Pig. One of my biggest dreams is to jump up and down in muddy puddles like Peppa! While I am doing amazing and have learned to walk short distances at home, I still struggle with my balance, standing up unaided, walking outside, steps, and simple tasks that affect my everyday life.

Harry was born 6 weeks early and was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy caused by a stroke. Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects movement, posture, coordination, and balance, caused by a problem in the brain that occurs before, during, or soon after birth.

We are fundraising so Harry can have SDR, which will be life-changing for him. Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) surgery will decrease spasticity and stiffness, allowing him to use his body in a whole new way. We are hoping to fundraise for this, the intensive physiotherapy program that follows surgery, equipment, various therapies, and any adaptation/accessibility needs in the home.

Any donations are greatly appreciated, and we can’t thank you enough for making Harry's dream of a life without limits come true.

Thank you again from Harry, Alex, and Carla xxx
