Alex's Wish To Walk

Watching Alex's wish to walk come true after raising just over €80,000 to fund an operation called selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR)

Thank you Everyone

Thank you to everyone that helped Alex reach the next chapter of his Journey. This page was originally set-up to fundrais to get Alex to st.louis ,USA to have an operation called SDR (Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy)
We have reached our fundraising target and are no longer actively fundraising. The page will now be used to share with you all The next chapters of Alex's SDR story and raise awareness of

this life changing operations. Of all the surgical and medical procedures currently performed on patients with cerebral palsy (CP), selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) has undergone more thorough scientific scrutiny than any other (including orthopedic surgery). Accumulated evidence and our own experience indicate that SDR is an excellent option for selected patients with spastic cerebral palsy. We believe parents and patients should inquire about SDR as a part of the management of CP before the patient undergoes orthopedic surgery. The Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy Procedure involves sectioning (cutting) of some of the sensory nerve fibers that come from the muscles and enter the spinal cord. This means alexs pain will be taken away and he will be able to walk. please ask us if you would like to know more or you can look up all information about the operation through the link below

Alex will be travelling to the USA in July to Have his SDR operation thanks to the kindness and compassion of so many people. People gave there precious time and money to Alex to make this little boys wish come true.

So proud of this young man. He has wanted to try my sewing machine for ages after doing a sewing workshop at the Crann Centre youthclub a few months back but I was petrified of him damaging himself on a big machine so we bought him this one from amazon and he tried it out today. First day using it and he created this little bag (he had very little help from mom). We are so so proud of Alex and he achieves in life considering it took the doctors 9 minutes to revive alex we never thought we would see the day he could complete such tasks. As a mom who absolutely loves crafting this makes my heart happy 😊 we have also got a knitting machine as Alex wants to learn to make Baby hats for the Neonatal unit in Cumh Neo Natal because they looked after him so well nearly 16 years ago

Happy Friday 😊
Alex is packing up some orders today. He had a busy week practising printing prototypes and has a alot of keyrings ready to sell.
What do you think of his custom packaging 💙

Alex has always wanted to become some sort of a businessman.

A few weeks back he decided he wanted to try 3d printing and see if it is something he can turn into a business.

Below are some items he has made while trialling and getting used to the printer.

He will sell the items he makes via his page here or on his moms website.

Alex would love to know what you think of his makes and what kind of items you would like to see or buy that are 3d printed 🤔

Alex will also be paid via his own revolut account which will also help him to keep track of and managing money 💰

Thank you for your time.
