CHILD CHAMPION: Community raises £11,800 for boy from Gerrards Cross undergoing life-changing surgery

 Published on: 24th December 2024   |   By: Ellie Rose   |   Category: Uncategorized

The community has raised more than £11,800 for a Gerrards Cross boy who will undergo an operation at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).

Archie was born with cerebral palsy, which has presented with him a number of challenges throughout his life.

On Wednesday, December 4, Archie was supposed to have a major operation at GOSH, which will reduce muscle spasticity and help him to walk and play sports with more ease.

However, it had been postponed and, at the time of writing, is expected to take place in January.

With aftercare lasting up to six months, Archie will have to undergo many hours of private physiotherapy.

Wanting to “help with his future rehabilitation programme”, Robert Catchpole created a GoFundMe page to help ensure Archie’s dad, Reece, can take time off to be by his son’s side.

Robert shared: “I am personally so proud of Archie, as I am of Reece and how he has supported Archie.

“It’s heart-breaking for any parent witnessing their child facing daily challenges which you are unable to take away.”
