Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Bupa Great Birmingham Run on behalf of the Birmingham Children's Hospital.  The funds raised will be for the Heart Unit.

My son Daniel was born with a rare congenital heart disease and Noonan's Syndrome, he has been in and out of hospital throughout his life.  He had his first major heart surgery at 12 weeks and since then his health has dramatically improved, but he will still require further surgery. 

Since Hasselboffs arrival, it has been a emotional roller-coaster for the family and we can't thank the hospital enough for what they have done for us, which is why I have decided to run the half marathon. (Also the fact that my husband keeps going on about it!)

Daniel is doing really well as you can see from the photos and has started to eat food without the aid of his NG tube during the day!  He is full of life, very loving, and very stubborn! Stubborn works for him! He is a real trooper!

Humor helps the family maintain some normality (hence the nickname Daniel "Hasselboff" McEnery) teasing and laughter is a good balance to the seriousness and the complexity of our lives.
