Our gorgeous boy has a hypoplastic right ventricle, effectively half a heart. It is a condition he was born with and that cannot be "fixed". However, with several operations and specialist support there is every hope that Rupert will lead a full and happy life, all be it with some lifestyle limitations.
The care that Rupert receives is lead by the amazing cardiac department at Birmingham Children's Hospital and we are supported as a family by the charities Little Hearts Matter and the Ronald MacDonald House as well as the wonderful hospital staff themselves.
The aim of this page is to raise money to show our appreciation and thanks to these people by donating any money raised to the Birmingham Children's Hospital charity, Little Hearts Matter and Birmingham Ronald MacDonald House. (For more information about these charities please take a look at their websites or talk to us about our experiences).
Thank you for your support.
