In January 2004 my youngest son Harvey-James fell ill with meningococcal septicaemia which is a deadly form of meningitis, Harvey was just 9 months old at the time, Despite such awful adversity placed in front of him at such a young age Harvey battled back to full fitness with the amazing help and support shown on the PICU ward at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington and also the support and dedication from the equally amazing COSMIC team, As a result of his illness Harvey lost all of his toes on both feet and some digits on each hand and now walks unaided with the help of prosthetic feet, He has amazing strength and courage in everything he does and is now 9 years old. I cannot express enough how different our story would have been without charity’s like COSMIC or PICU ward’s like the one at Paddington. 

On July 8 Harvey will be joined by his closest family and friends to take part in his second 5k COMSIC walk on their 20 anniversary.

Any donation no matter how big or small WILL make a difference to the COSMIC Charity and will also be very much appreciated by Harvey and the rest of our walkers team, Thank you for taking the time to read our page.
