TWO kind-hearted young boys have kicked off a fundraising drive to help her get their little sister life-changing surgery in the United States. Sienna’s parents, Lesley Anne and Ciarán, are fundraising in order to pay for the Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery, which is only performed in the US. Writing on the GoFundMe page, Sienna’s parents said: “We have decided to take Sienna to St Louis in America for life-changing SDR surgery. “So many Irish families have gone and done exactly what I’m doing and the success rate is amazing,” she said. My husband is in the fire brigade, it’s been an absolute disaster of a year for our family,” she added.
