Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our son, Edward, was diagnosed with TGA (Transposition of the Great Arteries) in utero, at our 20 week scan. It's fair to say that the bottom fell out of world. We were devastated and without the support and help of family, friends and the staff at the Royal Brompton we wouldn't have made it through the first few difficult months. The BHF have worked tirelessly for 53 years, without their research he might not have made it at all. 30 years ago he definitely wouldn't have. Their research has made it possible for him to live a long and happy life. 

This is a charity close to our hearts (sorry, no pun intended). BHF does amazing work to cure heart disease, from angina to congenital heart defects, like our Ted's TGA. They also work to prevent heart disease too. So with that in mind I'm going to give my heart a massive work out for an amazing cause. Thank you in advance for any donation.
