Fundraising for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity
Story
Every year we hold a pancake day in our Farm Shop tearoom to raise money for charity.
This year I am doing it for my grandaughter "Olive"
This year I am doing it for my grandaughter "Olive"
Paul and Clare put it best:
Our
beautiful daughter Olive was born on 7th June 2014 with a very complex
heart condition, sadly too complex even for the team at Great Ormond
Street Hospital to fix. After two 9-hour open-heart procedures in the
space of a week, and another week of being fully supported on ECMO, our
brave little girl passed away in our arms on 22nd July 2014, only 6
weeks after she was born.
Why are we doing this? Clare
and I are determined that everything we do in Olive's memory can help
other sick children and their families. For this reason we have chosen
to support Great Ormond Street Hospital – specifically we want to fund
break-through heart research projects and also contribute to further
advance the care of all GOSH patients and families.
By remembering Olive in this way we'll be doing all we can to ensure Olive made a difference in the world – and that will make us very proud.
