Story

Miles Venkiah was born in on 11th May 2022. He is the wonderful second son to our lovely friends Kelly and Gavin Venkiah.

We knew for a little while that he was showing signs of heart concerns and Miles was born 80 miles away from his Swansea home in Bristol Children's Hospital with a Ventrical Septum Defect (also known as a hole in his heart). Our little warrior had his first heart operation in June and has since been able to move home with many visits back to hospital and lots of love and support from family and friends. 

Noah's Ark Children's Hospital Charity have been a massive support to Miles, Kelly, Gav and big brother Joel and I'd love to do what I can to say thank you. 

I will be taking part in a running advent, running every day between 1st - 24th December and aiming to complete over ultra marathon distance in that time, meaning a minimum of 2.2 miles a day.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and support me in my fundraising challenge.
