Jamie Mannion is unable to walk but benefitted greatly from a two week intensive therapy trip to Toronto.

Jamie's Mother is hoping for a generous intervention by a philanthropist or corporate social responsibility program.
Shipping the walker to Laois will cost €45,000, and after successfully raising enough funds to travel to North America for therapy, Jamie's Mum Siobhan has been speaking with Will Faulkner on Midlands Today and says she won't be going back to the public for more help:
