The parents of a six-month-old baby with ?flat head? syndrome are organising a charity fundraiser tomorrow (Saturday) to raise awareness of his condition and the lack of NHS funding.
Heidi Brown and Chris Tuppen?s son Finlay was born with plagiocephaly after being in the breach position.
The little one had an operation last month to have a helmet fitted to help treat the condition, thanks to a ?900 boost from the charity Headstart4babies. In total the treatment cost ?2,000 and the family, from the North Harbour, is hoping to raise as much funds as possible to give the charity a boost and raise awareness of the lack of NHS funding for the condition.
Heidi, 31, said, ?We?re really frustrated and I think that?s the same with other people who are in a similar position.
