Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to join a charity event which is happening in Eastbourne to raise money for a wonderful charity, I don't know if you know it but it's called Chestnut tree hospice and for most of you that know me would know how much this place has helped me and my family. I have three children, my youngest Danielle has a condition called Tuberous sclerosis complex, which is a life threating and life limited condition, which is devastating for all of us, she is such a loveable cheerful little girl and anyone that knows her loves her to bits. The condition has affected her life to such that she has aggressive seizures which are uncontrolled anyone of those could take her life, ADHD, Austism, Gobal delay, kidney problems, speech and language delay. I'ts like living with a time bomb!!!

Chestnut tree hospice are a great support not only to they offer respite with a team of nurses which work round the clock but they invite the whole family so you can spend quality time with the children. They also offer support when times are hard, and importantly when that dreaded day comes i know they will help us through as a family. I can't and don't want to think about life without my daughter but without this place i would struggle. they couldnt do what they do without the money to run this place which is not goverment funded!

So please please donate and sponser me to help me give back something to such a wonderful place!! Do it for Danielle!!! it doesn't matter how little or how much you give as it all adds up and I thank each and everyone of you!


Love Michaela, Danielle and all our family xxxx
