Story
In 2011 my daughter, Delilah, was severely burned in an accident. She sustained 50% full thickness burns. She spent nearly two months in intensive care and we are lucky to still have her in our lives. She wore pressure garments covering her whole body for a year and has at had endless therapy. She has undergone numerous trips to theatre (>30 at the last count) for both functional and cosmetic improvement. She has been through an awful lot, however is the happiest, bravest, most confident child who touches the hearts of everyone who meets her (even her brothers, Felix and Morgan).
The children's burns club provides support and activities (camps, zoo days etc) to children who have been injured. As Delilah grows and becomes more aware of her scarring, it is a great opportunity to meet other burned children and for me to meet other parents. The club also provides psychological and social support for dealing with disfigurement and raising awareness about burns.

I'm running the Brighton Marathon to raise money for the club.
All gifts of any size are greatly appreciated. Many thanks for your support!
