Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Where do i start!...
I feel like ive pestered everyone so much in the past for sponsors.. but who wouldnt when at home, i have a child who from a far may look fine at time's, but take away the clothes and dressing and you have open raw wounds, no skin, or maybe blisters. Sometimes the full size of her arms or legs.. unfortunately this is what my Hollie and many other children with EB go through..
These wounds & blisters happen from the slightest knock or friction, which trust me when all you want to do is have a cuddle or pick her up and you manage to catch her by accident.. this basically rips your heart to bits.
it isnt just her knackered shell that's broken, all this continues in her eye's, many a time Hollie has had to sit in a dark room until the blisters have healed, Her mouth, tongue, gums and throat also blister, making eating a very traumatizing event, due to this happening, Hollie has had operations to widen her throat and also had a feeding tube fitted into her tummy so she can be fed at night time..
We dont know what the future holds for our Hollie, weather she'll be using a wheel chair full time, wether her fingers and toes will fuse or the one that scares me the most.. the skin cancer.
Ben, Rachael and me will be attempting the HUGE aproximate 900 mile from the Lands End to John O Groats! all on our push bikes!!this will take us just under 2 weeks to do.. and i can tell im scared witless!! ha ha
All the money raised goes to the Debra Charity, this charity is not government funded, so every penny they have, is raised by them and people like us, Not only does the money go into research, but also pays for her amazing nurses, who travel very long distances to visit families like mine... there is so much more this charity helps us with.. i cant thank them enough.
