Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
After a few years of trying I’ve got a ballot place to run the best Marathon in the world….LONDON MARATHON 2025. This will be my first ever MARATHON, as part of my training I’m running London Landmarks half at the beginning of April.
I’ve chosen the CHSF children’s heart surgery fund as I know first hand how important they are to so many families of ‘Heart Warriors. 17
years ago (20th March 2007) my twin daughters was born, while Carrie was perfectly health Olivia was born with pulmonary stenosis.
With the help of the Children’s heart surgery fund and the doctors and staff at the LGI hospital Olivia received a balloon angioplasty operation in May 2007 which was a success but had side effects and caused her to have a stroke. Without the CHSF this already traumatic experience would have been so much more stressful
My wife and Carrie (Olivia’s twin) were provided a place to stay at the hospital, this enabled her to rest and be at my daughters side, which still looking after Carrie. If there was an emergency she was minutes away, not miles. My wife and Carrie my other twin daughter stayed at the LGI for several weeks while Olivia was in intensive care.
CHSF did a fantastic job helping look after my daughters and wife during this difficult time and who today does this for 1000s of children with Health problems.
