Over £10,000 has been raised for a nine-year-old Gerrards Cross boy who will undergo a huge operation next month.

Archie Webb, who was born with cerebral palsy, will spend the vast majority of the Christmas period at Great Ormond Street Hospital, as he will have a surgical procedure on his legs.

The operation, selective dorsal rhizotomy, is expected to leave Archie ‘weak and needing to learn to walk again’.

However, many of the youngster’s family and friends have clubbed together to raise an incredible five-figure amount to help the Webb family.

A GoFundMe page was set up on November 10 with a target of £10,000 being set.

And in just over two weeks, £11,125 has been donated so far, with the West London Boxing Academy sending Archie £350.

A section of the GoFundMe page reads: “On December 4, Archie will face a significant challenge as he undergoes a major operation at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

“The procedure is a selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR).

“It will leave him weak and needing to learn to walk again.

“This will involve many hours of private physiotherapy, walking aids and his bedroom to be relocated to downstairs.

“If the operation is successful, it will help reduce a lot of muscle spasticity, which will help him to walk with more ease, make sports easier as well as life in general.

“As many of you will know Archie has a passion for sport.

“Despite his physical restrictions he boxes, plays football and has never allowed his disabilities to stop him from achieving.”

The GoFundMe page has been shared across Facebook which has led to the vast majority of donations.

It is also hoped that the brave nine-year-old will be able to return home on Christmas Eve to spend the holidays with his family.

The West London Boxing Academy, who confirmed that Archie is regularly seen at their premises, said: “Many of you will have seen Archie at the club, and some would have seen him take part in our Under the Lights show last summer.

“After working hard for over a year, not only on his boxing but also to improve his balance, and to be able to break barriers and take part in our in-house boxing show, Archie did just that and smashed it.

“Once the operation is complete, there will be long healing and rehabilitation in which Archie will have to learn to walk again.

“We have absolutely no doubt in our minds that Archie will smash this challenge and be back in the gym by the summer and we cannot wait to welcome him back.”
