The family of Austin Manning has raised more than $6000 since the Bay of Plenty Times told of his family's fight to raise enough money to take their son to America for life-changing surgery.

Austin is one of 7000 in New Zealand with cerebral palsy. He suffers from periventricular leukomalacia (a brain injury), asymmetric spastic quadriplegia, developmental delay and has problems with his vision.
