Story
<p>On 20th March 2011 Paula's son Jonah drowned. Thankfully he was eventually resuscitated by their friend but was critical. He was put into a coma for Neuroprotection and transferred to Great Ormond Street. Paula and Ivan were given <strong>accommodation</strong> (funded by the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity) for the entire time Jonah was in hospital. Jonah's sister and brother came to visit him and had a pre arranged greeting by <strong>clowns</strong> and <strong>play therapists</strong> who prepared them to see their critically ill little brother and made sure they had positive memories of their visit. Once out of his coma, a very distressed Jonah was in a state of trauma and the only place he found respite was in the <strong>sensory room</strong> on the ward.</p>
<p>Neither of us have run more than 6 miles before but we want to raise money to continue to provide these services and people for future <em>parents</em>, <em>siblings</em> and <em>poorly children</em> who will have to go to Great Ormond Street Hospital.</p>
<p>Please sponsor us to encourage us in our training and to get us round our big run!</p>
<p>JustGiving is a fantastic way to give as they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
