A TWO-year-old boy who is unable to walk without help was due to go into hospital today ahead of life-changing surgery to help him take his first solo steps.
Oliver Rushton, who suffers from spastic diplegia - a form of cerebral palsy - will have a six-hour operation on Thursday.
It comes after a year-long fundraising drive saw his family raise more than ?25,000 to fund the operation after being told that the NHS would not provide it.
