My story
Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.
As you may know, I am running the Silverstone Half Marathon on March 11th 2012 to raise money for the Children’s Heart Federation.
When my nephew Daniel was 10 weeks old, he had Kawasaki’s Disease, a rare illness which in his case led to aneurysms forming in his coronary arteries.
To manage his heart condition, he is given an anticoagulant (warfarin) once a day. His blood is tested regularly by his parents, using a blood testing machine funded by the Children’s Heart Federation.
In addition to warfarin, Daniel is given aspirin and ranitidine daily
When Daniel’s heart condition was first diagnosed, he had to make weekly hospital visits to monitor his blood coagulation levels until his own self-testing machine became available through the Children’s Heart Federation. I’m sure you can appreciate how valuable having our own machine as a family is to Daniel’s treatment now. However, many families without these machines still have to make regular visits to hospital.
As the Children’s Heart Federation’s programme for distributing such vital equipment is inextricably linked to their fundraising, I hope to raise enough money from running this half marathon for the CHF to be able to supply another family with their own self-testing machine, and other vital resources.
A Coagulation Self-testing machine typically costs £670, which seems a sensible target for my fundraising. However, every little helps along the way, so please give generously and support me as I run around Silverstone... several times!
NEWS! 30/01/2012
I am so grateful to have received so much support so far, and can announce that I have already reached my original fundraising target of £670! With 6 weeks still to go 'til race day, I'm adding another £300 to my fundraising target, which will enable a heart family to stay with their child in hospital for a week of treatment. Here's to the next £300, and thank you so much for your support,
Anna
