About

http://www.getthomastoamerica.co.uk/ - Get Thomas to America is a fundraising initiative to provide an opportunity for Thomas Hughes, a 10 year old who has Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy.

Thomas has been accepted by Dr T S Park at the Children’s Hospital in St Louis, USA to undergo an highly specialised operation, called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) and involves a neurosurgeon chipping a single vertebrae in Thomas’ spine to gain access to the nerves in his spinal cord.

Naturally this will cost a great amount of money, and in order to possibly make a little boy's dream of living as normal life as possible, without the aid of leg splints and enjoying the simple pleasure of standing with his feet flat on the ground, he needs your help!
