SIX-year-old Honey Lock can finally see clearly after her parents raised 50,000 for a life-changing operation in America.

Honey suffers from cerebral palsy and has grown up struggling to walk and see. But after donations from her local community, Honey's parents sent her to Missouri for treatment.

HOME again: Honey Lock, 6, with sister Summer and mum Rebecca, has returned from America

ALL SMILES: Burnham residents raised 50,000 for Honey Lock's operation in America.

I CAN SEE YOU: Honey Lock can now see well after a life-changing operation.

Her mother, Rebecca Lock of Dragon Close, Burnham, has just returned from the US with Honey and her other daughter, Summer.

"Honey and Summer are still a bit jet-lagged but it's just fantastic that Honey is doing even better now.

"It was a terrifying ordeal while we were out there but after having her second lot of orthopaedic surgery we can already see changes."

Honey originally went out to St Louis Hospital in December last year and had Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy therapy, a treatment which allowed her to walk alone for the first time and involved four hours of spinal surgery.

The second visit involved laser surgery on her eyes and more work on her spine and nerves.
