Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and for donating money to Feet First Worldwide.

Feet First Worldwide is a charity founded in 2004 by Steve Mannion, a Blackpool Orthopaedic surgeon. Its mission is to treat and prevent physical disability worldwide. In particular Steve has pioneered the use of non surgical procedures to treat babies born with club foot, who often do not have access to any treatment in disadvantaged countries. These procedures can be taught to local medics with tremendous results, and have the potential to enable thousands of children to avoid a lifetime of disability.

Steve is a good friend of mine, and you may have seen his amazing work in the BBC documentary ?Superdocs? presented by Sir Robert Winston. The documentary followed Steve to Malawi and showed in detail the dedicated work carried out by Steve and the team from Feet First, as well as the success that his techniques have had in treating children with club foot in the UK.

100% of donations are used directly for the purpose of the charity and all work is done by volunteers.

P.S. When you make a donation, don't forget to check the Gift Aid box if you're a UK taxpayer as then your charity can claim an extra 28% from the government!
