Why not Join our Toms Toddle Campaign.

Tom Jenkinson , from Chichester, aged 5, has just one wish in the New Year – to raise enough money for an operation to help him walk. Together with Tom Jenkinson’s family, we are desperately trying to help them raise the £40,000 needed to pay for selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery in America before next summer. They hope the surgery will allow Thomas who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, to move around more independently. Because his cerebral palsy crosses both sides of his body, he will probably need to use sticks to walk even after his operation. However, his family has a simple aim—for him to be able to use the toilet and move himself without help. We are working with Toms family and local people and businesses to help raise money for Tom, and already have a number of businesses wanting to get involved in donating prizes for a Silent Auction that we will holding in the New Year.
