Make 3 year old Jerry's SDR wish happen!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Trish Dorgan, founder of Blarney-based fitness camp Visionfitness360. I am fundraising for a little local legend: 3 year old Jerry O Shea.
On the 24th of June, I will be completing 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 24 hours with the help of members and friends.
The 4-4-24 event will take place at the Gaelscoil Mhuscrai in Blarney, commencing at 12 noon on Sat 24th, finishing 12 noon on Sun 25th.
Jerry was born at 29 weeks weighing 1.6kg.
He was diagnosed with a brain injury at 4 weeks old which led to a diagnosis of right hemiplegic spastic cerebral palsy.
It is difficult for Jerry to use the muscles on the right-hand side of his body.
Jerry has been accepted for pioneering SDR surgery at St Louis Children's Hospital in the U.S.A .This surgery is not available in Ireland.
The families’ hopes are that this vital surgery will:
reduce Jerry’s spasticity permanently,
reduce his levels of pain and
improve his balance and endurance.
Please donate what you can and let's get Jerry his operation!
