The Kieran Maxwell Fund.

Kieran Maxwell is fourteen years old and was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma - an aggressive form of bone cancer - in 2010. Kieran's leg was amputated so he has to wear a prosthetic leg. 

Kieran is in remission and has developed a passion for gymnastics. The prosthetic he currently uses weighs 14lbs (1 stone/approx 6.4kg) which makes it difficult for him to move around. If Kieran is going to fulfil his dream of competing as a gymnast at the highest level he needs a specialist sports leg. These cost around £25,000 and will need to be replaced as Kieran grows. 

Dorset Orthopaedic is willing to manufacture Kieran's new gymnastics prosthetic leg to his specifications and the fund to pay for it currently stands at 54% of the £25,000 target. If you can help make Kieran's dream of becoming a top class gymnast come true, either by fundraising or donating, then please take a look at The Kieran Maxwell Fund.

Thank you so much.

Love Rose x
