Our daughter’s best friend has undergone major heart surgery this summer at Evelina. Below is her story.

Our little Ria is 6.5 years old and has undergone 3 major heart surgeries, a major stomach surgery and various complications and ICU admissions at The Evelina Children's Hospital London. The teams there are incredible, but in particular the Cardiac team. They have saved Ria's life countless times and have ensured she has had the best possible quality of life considering she has a very complex chronic congential heart condition. We - a team of 6 close friends & family of Ría - are running this half marathon to raise money for this specific team, to help them save other children's lives like our ria's and to give back to them like they have given us our Ria
