My Name is Daniel, I am almost 16 years old and on Sat 18th July 2015 I will be taking part in a tandem skydive to raise money for COSMIC.
My niece Emmie Rae Barker is almost 10 months old. She was born last Aug with six heart conditions and up until recently spent most of her life between the NICU unit at NNUH, GT Ormond St hospital and St Marys Hospital in Paddington London. COSMIC stands for Children of St Marys Intensive Care Unit and this is the place where Emmie stayed on life support on two separate occasions after suffering severe health deterioration. This was an extremely anxious and worrying time for us as a family and on both occasions we had to prepare ourselves for the worst. COSMIC, were absolutely amazing, they looked after our darling Emmie whilst also providing the emotional support to my sister and Kane at a very difficult time in their lives. Without them our little miracle baby wouldn't be here today!!
COSMIC would like to expand their intensive care unit from 8 beds to 16 beds to help save more lives of critically ill children with life threatening illnesses. But in order to do that they need our help. Please help me to make a difference by contributing to an incredibly worthwhile cause. You cannot put a price on life!!
Thank you so much and wish me luck. Im not going to lie - im very nervous.
