THE appeal to help a Kingswood boy to walk has been backed by a veteran fundraiser.

Peter Chaplin has raised thousands of pounds for children's charities over the years and when he heard about fundraising for four- year-old Jude Noble he wanted to do his bit to help.

The Capita Symonds building manager has been collecting raffle prizes to fill a massive wheelie bin in support of the appeal to raise £31,000 so the youngster, who has cerebral palsy, can have surgery at Frenchay Hospital to ease the tightness in his legs and give him the chance to walk on his own.

The money will also go towards the physiotherapy he will require after the selective dorsal rhizotomy operation.
