Story

As many of you know my niece Olivia was saved by Alder Hey Children’s Hospital on Christmas Day 2022 she was placed into an induced coma for 5 days where Olivia and all the nurses fought for her life fighting against Flu A, Strep A, Pneumonia, Sepsis and a collapsed right lung. Without Alder Hey we wouldn’t have Olivia and for that we are forever grateful, in anyway we can help Alder Hey we will. Please support where you can, every penny helps🙏🏼

Alder Hey Children's Charity takes on the Great Wall of China in 2025. We will be trekking around 36km along parts of the Great Wall of China, the trek will be hard and gruelling we will be walking up thousands of steps with heights up to 800m in 26 degrees weather! Some of the trek is at 45 degrees angles where we will be on our hands and knees battering our own mind and trying to overcome our own obstacles. Every obstacle I have to battle I will think of Olivia and how hard she had to fight, nothing will compare so I know I will do it.

I really wish to raise £3400 but my dream would be £5000 imagine how much that would help Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. Not just the children but the staff and all the volunteers, it would take a massive stress off them 🙏🏼 please even if you can donate £1 I am forever grateful. If you cannot donate please share like and tag family and friends. It’s a hard time everyone but what these children go through no one should ever have to.

Thank you for reading this far

Robert 🙏🏼
