GOSH is a great place to have a really horrible time, is what one amazing doctor once said to us when talking about Teddy’s time there.

Our family will be running the RBC Race for the Kids 2019 in Hyde Park in London on 12th October, and we would be very grateful for any support in fundraising for the Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Teddy was antenatally diagnosed with a complex heart condition with a very guarded prognosis at the anomaly scan at 20 weeks pregnant. Since June 2017, GOSH and their staff have played an incredible role in our family life. To date, Teddy has had countless check ups with GOSH, some minor interventions and two life saving open heart surgeries, and in that time we have gained an insight into the work this wonderful children’s hospital do for their patients and their families. This hospital has given Teddy, and us,  a brand new hope and a new lease of life, whilst providing him with the state of the art medical care and the practical, moral and emotional support for the family to get us all through. From the acts of kindness, through putting us up in free family accommodation on site, to providing highly specialised care for Teddy, without the hospital our family would not be what it is today.

Teddy has been through more in his young life than most will be in a lifetime. He is doing really well now and loving living a full and happy life, with virtually no restrictions. There is still some uncertainty in his future as he will require more open heart surgeries and interventions as he gets older but there is no better place than GOSH to trust with his case. We would be really grateful if you could help us give something back to the GOSH family, and would appreciate any and all donations. *Our current target of £300 is the equivalent of the cost of providing the family of a seriously ill child with on site accommodation for a week, something that can make a tremendous difference to the patients and their recovery. *we’ve got some incredible supporters, whose generous support to this wonderful charity has exceeded our wildest expectations! We’ve decided to see if we can raise £800 before the run.
