JOHNNY Pantry has a broad smile and a typical five-year-old's cheeky sense of humour.

He loves sausages, swimming and horse riding.

drive: Five-year-old Johnny Pantry suffers from cerebral palsy, which means he can ride around on his trike but needs help to stand up or walk

But without life-changing treatment in the United States, the bubbly Westerham youngster who is battling cerebral palsy faces a future of surgery, pain and life in a wheelchair.

Now, in a major series of fundraising drives across the district, family, friends and neighbours are trying to find the 70,000 needed for his treatment in America and the subsequent two years' intensive physiotherapy he will need back in the UK.

Available every Thursday on selected cocktails

Terms: Excluding 14/02/13

Valid until: Thursday, February 28 2013

In just two months, supporters have raised a staggering 20,000 through events as varied as golf days organised by the Grasshopper on the Green, Westerham, a sponsored jog by pupils of Amherst School, Riverhead, and a cake sale at St Mary's Church, Westerham.

A mystery donor has also given 1,000 to the cause.
