Kenny and Leslie didn’t give up even when the odds were against them. They worked hard to find Kenny the best medical care. After managing to raise $9,000 for his initial surgery costs, they managed to persuade Dr. Wayne Berry—a renowned neurologist—to agree to a second operation. Surprisingly, it was successful in slowly alleviating Kenny’s pain over time with physical therapy showing significant results afterward too.
