I am hoping to get momentum going by setting a petition up to ask the National Health Service in Britain to think about having surgery for children with Cerebral Palsy - it is currently only available in Missouri, USA. It has transformed these childrens' lives and instead of going to all the expense of flights, accommodation and surgery, in the USA, it would be great for it to be available in UK. It is called SDR - or Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy. It involves cutting some nerves in the back that are sending incorrect messages to the muscles of the legs, causing them to tighten. If you would like to sign my petition, I would be ever so grateful. In the long address bar at the top, please type in http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/didinkie47

That brings you straight to my petition. If you want to add a comment, you can, not essential. To spread the word even further, if you wish, you can email to your friends. Thank you so much. God bless.
