Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am just an ordinary mum that wants to give back to the hospital that has cared and looked after my family for over 25 years. So I will be cycling 35 miles from Eastbourne Pier to Hastings Pier and back on the 8th September 2012.

My late grandmother, Mary, was a nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and she was very proud to have worked there, she was a caring lady who married and went on to have eight children, she was also blessed to have several grandchildren and great grandchildren before she passed away in February this year.

When I was 2 years old I was having health problems myself, my Granny advised my parents to get a referral to GOSH which they did. I was priveliged to have their medical care and support for the following 14 years. My Partner Craig has PKU (phenylketonuria) and was also a patient into his early teens, our paths possibly crossed back then. Now with children of our own, two have been referred to GOSH after my Granny's advice and because of her understanding of how committed they are in their work and what they do. So we did and thankfully we got a diagnosis of Eosinophilic Colitis and the necessary treatment that our girls continue to receive.

So this is a big THANKYOU for all the care, support and help that GOSH has given us over the years. So please make a donation and help me reach my target, one day you may benefit from the commitment and expertise that Great Ormond Street Hospital For Children are world famous for. x
