That time of year again. Time to run 13.1 miles in memory of Christopher. The staff at Freemans always did their best when it came to Christophers care - we can never thank them enough for looking after us during the many stays on Ward 23. Any donation is greatly appreciated and will go a long way to looking after families that are staying on the ward.

CHUFs vision is to support pioneering services that will positively impact heart families, inspire hope and enable Heart Heroes to reach their full potential.This is achieved by supporting the children and families who receive treatment by the Childrens Heart Unit based at Freeman Hospital and the many other hospitals providing care for cardiac patients throughout the North East. We raise vital funds for large and small pieces of equipment, facilities, aftercare, salaries and research. CHUFs charitable activities go far beyond that of providing medical equipment and personnel; the charity provides holistic care to children and their families by providing services and facilities that allow heart children to develop their skills and mature as any healthy child normally would. CHUF supports pioneering research and services that contributes to heart heroes ability to achieve their full potential.
