Story

<p>We&nbsp;are raising money for Hinchingbrooke's children's ward - Holly Ward.&nbsp; Over the last couple of years they have helped us tremendously and we can not fault anything they do and have nothing but praise for the nurse's &amp; doctors there.</p> <p>We&nbsp;are raising money by climbing climbing the UK's highest mountain, Ben Nevis on 14th May.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are definetly not the fittest people in the world so it is going to take a lot of physical and mental training.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are doing this as&nbsp;our son, Alfie,&nbsp;was diagnosed with Epilepsy when he was 10 weeks old after suffering from his first seizure when he was just 8 weeks old.&nbsp; At first we weren't really sure what was going on, but the nurse's always reassured us and helped us at a very emotional time.&nbsp; To date he has had 30+ seizures and I have lost count of hospital visits, but at every single one of those visits we have always felt at ease.&nbsp; We have also had a lot of help from our family friends, but unfortunately, they don't have charities.</p> <p>The money raised will hopefully go towards new equipment on the ward for both the children and nurses.&nbsp; This is our way of saying a big thank you for all their help.&nbsp;</p>
