Croydon University Hospital has launched the ‘Little Breaths’ appeal to raise £46,000 to fund two ventilators for the paediatric ward and A&E.

In order to help Croydon University Hospital reach their goal my horse Belle and I will aim to do 46,000 steps on 15/16/17th September to raise £460 (hopefully more!).

Ventilators are essential machines which take over breathing when a child is too unwell to breathe for themselves. They are a lifeline when our patients need us the most and can prevent every parent’s worst nightmare.

Donations to the ‘Little Breaths’ appeal will help to fund two additional ventilators to provide life-saving treatment for the sickest children in Croydon, from very small babies to young people aged up to 16-year-olds. Please dig deep for this amazing cause.
