My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be taking part in the Tour de Furness ( www.tourdefurness.co.uk ), a 13 mile bike ride around the Furness Peninsula...... There is a 50 mile route but that will have to wait until next year- I have only just got my new bike (The last bike I had was a drop handle when i was 13!)

If you want to donate some money, and I am presuming you do as you are on this website...!!) I will tell you what I am fundraising for......

As you may or may not know, when my daughter Millie was born she had a Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF) which is basically a connection between the windpipe and the foodpipe, which meant milk would go into her lungs. Millie had an operation to repair the Fistula when she was 8 days old, and gave us more than our fair share of scares in the six weeks she was in hospital. We had to keep a very close eye on Millie for the first couple of years of her life due to TOF related eating and breathing (especially when she got a cold...!) difficulties.

I am doing the bike ride 2 days before Millie's 4th birthday, and we are really happy that despite everything she went through, she is growing up into a beautiful (and very artistic!) little girl.

TOFS is a UK charity that provides support and information to the families of children born unable to swallow.. http://www.tofs.org.uk/ and money raised helps them continue and grow the support network.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, 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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
