Story

I saw first hand how amazing the Doctors, Nurses and staff are at Great Ormond Street Hospital when my daughter Lily Belle was critically ill, fighting the life threatening Meningococcal Septicaemia at 6 months old.

Lily was transferred to GOSH by intensive ambulance team 'C.A.T.S'  and was only given a 20% chance of survival. She was sedated and ventilated in intensive care for 5 days and received around the clock care and treatment.

Thanks to the amazing team at GOSH Lily Belle made a full recovery and now lives a happy and healthy life with absolutely no lasting effects at all.

We are fully aware how lucky we are and want to do everything we can to help them help other families like us by making people aware of Meningitis and helping GOSH raise money for them to carryout their amazing work!

I will be laying off the good food and beers and getting down the gym training regularly to cross the line to help this amazing charity, please donate anything you can to support me to make it all worth while!
