Story

I've created this page because I want to make a difference. I'm inspired by the work of Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2022. in 2013 my niece Sophia-lily was born with a Diaphragmatic Hernia. If it wasn’t for the staff at Edinburgh sick kids hospital doing the amazing job that they do our family wouldn’t have the privilege of Sophia being here with is all today. Sophia had to have life saving surgery and I would love the thought of helping another family in the same position we were in and even the thought of giving something back.

Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. The more people that know about ECHC, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
