AJ's Finally on his way! Flying out this morning (7th May) AJ is finally on his way to the USA and to the life changing operation that will hopefully give him the chance to take the first unaided steps of his life... and thanks to the extremely helpful staff at Delta Airways, AJ not only received an upgrade but also admission to the very select VIP lounge to enjoy comfortable chairs and complimentary refreshments before boarding the plane to the USA. AJ pictured with Mum (Leeanne) partner Anthony, helper Kerry and Airline staff at the Delta Airways check in desk. This is the start of the most important journey in AJ's life and a journey that simply wouldn't have been possible without the help, generosity and hard work of literally thousands of people. as well as the many amazing people that helped out along the way;
Although We have now reached the original target of £50,000 this amount only covered the basic costs of the operation and didn't account for changes in the Dollar to Sterling exchange rate, or the massive costs involved with securing Visa's, nor did it cover items like specialist equipment, rehabilitation Physiotherapy and elements of the Footsteps program not covered under the NHS. To take into account these additional costs we now believe that the final total will be in excess of £58,000 and would therefore ask you to continue the good work and to carry on fundraising a little longer. "Thank you for making a little boy's dreams come true"
