I will be taking on the Welsh 3 Peaks Challenge on 22nd September 2019 to help raise money for the Cardiff & Vale Health Charity. 

Specifically I would like the money I raise to go to the Critical Care Unit at the University Hospital of Wales (UHW), Cardiff who cared for my son Tom when he was admitted with pneumonia and suffered cardiac and respiratory failure. The amazing CCU team at UHW had the foresight to refer Tom for life-saving ECMO at St Thomas' London, and that saved his life. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing NHS!

In the past I have raised money for St Thomas' ECMO ICU team, but for this challenge I want to say thank you to the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board who played such a key role in saving my son's life. Please read my story at www.walk4ecmo.co.uk

Cardiff & Vale Health Charity are the official charity of the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and they raise money to improve and enhance patient and staff areas within our hospitals locally. They help provide state of the art equipment, fund research and improve the environment of our hospitals. Please support my challenge and give generously to help give the best possible care to our patients which is what we all deserve.
