As some of you know, Ted has a genetic condition called Seathre-Chotzen syndrome. This means that his skull closed too early and there was not enough room for his growing brain. Ted had surgery on the 14th December and has recovered incredibly well. We are so grateful for all the love and care we received at GOSH and want to contribute to ensure other children receive the care we did. Without the groundbreaking technology involved in remodelling Ted’s skull the surgery would have been far more complex, it is projects like this that are funded by the GOSH charity. 

Every day, more than 600 seriously ill children and young people from across the UK arrive at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, doctors and nurses battle the most complex illnesses and conditions, and the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs.This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support to give seriously ill children the best chance to fulfil their potential.

Ted and I will be swimming this together as he isn’t an independent swimmer yet (and it would be very far for him). He’ll be using a float and doing as much as he can before I am sure I’ll be pushing him along! We aim to do 20 lengths 3 times a week for the whole of March. 

Thank you for reading this and contributing if you can. 

Lauren and Ted xx
