Please read this. This time its extra special.
I am raising money for The Little Jimmy Brighter Future Fund a charity set up by the patients of Little Jimmy (James) who sadly died despite the heroic efforts of the team at GOSH when only a few weeks old after his birth in September 2016. His twin sister Isabel then had to have life saving surgery at GOSH only a few days after his death. I cannot imagine how absolutely devastating this must have been for these parents. His mother, Emily (Wise) worked with me a few years ago and her story is both a sad and inspiring one. Emily and her husband Pete have set up this unique charity called The Little Jimmy Brighter Future Fund aims to raise money for GOSH to buy special ventilators (which cost over £50K) to allow really sick children to be transferred by ambulance to GOSH to replace the current old ventilators they currently rely on.
So far they have raised over £100K! These ventilators will help save lives and I am honoured to v=be part of their fund raising team.
