The family of a disabled youngster are making a final attempt to raise money for a life-changing operation.
Jakob Scott-Thomas suffers from spastic diplegia – a form of cerebral palsy which affects his legs and severely restricting his movement.
His family must raise £50,000 by the end of September to pay for an operation in the USA so he can walk properly again.
Despite a massive effort they remain stuck on £16,000.
The operation, which would take place in October, could be the five-year-old’s last chance as the older he gets the less likely it is to work.
A fun day is planned at Chester Road Playing Fields, Hazel Grove, on Saturday (July 31) from 11am to 5pm.
Mum Lara, 25, of Arnside Avenue, Hazel Grove, said: "This could be his last chance because if he misses out this time he would have to be assessed again and may not be eligible because he has grown too much.
"It is an awkward situation as we are so grateful for all the money that has been raised but it is stressful as we are constantly aware we need to raise more.
"I can’t remember the last time we had a normal family weekend where we weren’t trying to raise money. But knowing we can change our son’s life keeps us going. Jakob is a happy little boy but he knows what is going on"
Jakob, who attends Moorfield Primary, on Lyndhurst Avenue, also lives with his dad Chris and brothers Joshua, six, and Harry, one.
If enough money raised Jakob will undergo an operation to loosen the nerves in his legs at St Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri.
So far it has a 100 per cent success rate there but is not funded by our NHS.
At the fun day there will be a bouncy castle, stalls, food, games including apple bobbing and hook a duck and a penalty shootout. Visitors can even take part in a space hopper race.
Organiser Alexis Welsh, said: "We are hoping the event will be a massive hit, it’s free to get in and nothing is too expensive once inside.
"There will be so much going on, something for toddlers and teenagers to adults."
