Doctors hope Kyle Weaver will be walking unaided within a year

A 22,000 donation from one family to another has allowed a young boy with cerebral palsy to have life-changing surgery in America.

Before surgery Kyle Weaver, three, from Colwyn Bay was unable to walk unaided.

Treatment was made possible after Kevin and Christine Williams, from Conwy, donated money raised for their daughter, Abigail, who no longer benefits from continued treatment.

Kyle's parents hope he will take his first unaided steps within the year.

Mr and Mrs Williams had collected the money to pay for pioneering stem cell treatment for their daughter Abigail, seven.

When it was discovered that Abigail, who suffers from Batten disease which affects her mobility and senses, would not benefit from continued treatment they contacted Kyle's family.
