Bucks Masons have recently donated £1000 to help a young boy from High Wycombe receive the physiotherapy needed to ensure he will be able to walk.
Jenson is three years old and was born prematurely weighing just 2lb 5 oz. As he grew it became apparent that he was not reaching the usual developmental milestones and his parents received the devastating news that he had Cerebral Palsy. His condition meant that he was unable to walk and he suffered from painful tightness in the muscles. Although there is a newly developed operation which can relieve the tightness and potentially allow him to walk unaided available on the N.H.S, he would need many years of physiotherapy sessions which are not funded to achieve the maximum benefit. His parents immediately set about trying to raise the £30000 potential cost.
Step forward Tom Davies, a local Mason who has known Jenson’s mum, Vicky, all her life. Over many years he has donated over £30000 to a wide variety of charities which he has raised by the sale of used Masonic regalia. These sales allowed the donation of £1000 which brings the total to £18000 for the physio sessions which will have a fundamental impact on his life.
