Look: Final fundraising push to help little Coventry boy walk

Tristan Dawe, of Finham, 8,000 short of 30,000 target for life-changing operation in America

The final fundraising push is on to help a disabled Coventry boy achieve his dream of walking unaided.

Little Tristan Dawe, of Finham, is now 8,000 shy of his 30,000 target.

The money will fund a life-changing operation in America f or the cerebral palsy sufferer who, as the Telegraph has previously reported, was let down when a free NHS op to loosen his stiffened legs was axed in February due to cancelled funding.

The four-year-olds parents, Kate and Sam, have joined forces with the Tree of Hope charity which supports families of sick and disabled children in the UK who need specialist surgery, treatment and equipment.

They have also taken to social media to promote their plight.

Kate said: The response has been simply amazing with donations from far and wide, meaning were already three quarters of the way there and can now plan for Tristans future.

Kate also set up a Facebook page which was spotted by fellow Finham resident Debbie Jones who got in touch offering to help.
