Last year, Kit spent 21 weeks in hospital awaiting and recovering from a heart transplant.

During that time, CHUF provided vital support. Day to day life on the ward was made more bearable for a 4 year old with programmes such as the Clown Doctors, visits from the ice cream man, pizza parties, toys and craft supplies to use in the playroom as well as much needed meal vouchers for Mum and Dad.

February will mark 6 months post transplant for Kit. Please sponsor him as he walks, runs, cycles, scoots and swims 21 miles in 21 days (one for every week spent at the Freeman) so that he can give back to this amazing charity.

Many thanks in advance.
