Samuel Innes will be the second New Zealand child to undergo umbilical cord treatment for a birth related brain injury. Samuel, who is now four years old, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was two.  He has been accepted for treatment to be re-infused with his own cord blood in North Carolina.

His parents Andy and Ricky Innes , the franchise owners of Ray White Whitianga, are planning on travelling to the United States later next month.  For more on Samuel’s story please click here
