Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This is my friend's inspirational story:
Our beautiful Beatrice sadly passed away on the 24th February.
Her battle for life was one she could not win, though she gave it her
best shot. She was diagnosed with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy a rare
disease of the cardiac muscle and was treated by the excellent cardiac
specialist teams at GOSH. She deteriorated rapidly from first diagnosis
on the 10th January 2014 until she died on the 24th February.
She and we as a family, received exceptional care from everyone at
GOSH. She made it to the top of the UK heart transplant list but her
size, frailty and time were against her. After fighting the hardest of
battles, showing strength and courage far greater than her age she could
fight no more. Her heart was too tired. The team at GOSH ensured her
passing was pain free and peaceful.
We will miss her every
second of every day. Her courage and bravery are an inspiration. GOSH
and all those who work within it gave her the chance of life and the
most graceful and peaceful death we could ever have asked for.We never
thought we would have first hand experience and really wish we didnt,
but we are so thankful that our beautiful Beatrice was cared for with
such compassion by such amazing people They were there for her and for
us. The support and kindness shown to our family was and is
immeasurable. This hospital and every single person we came across is
truly exceptional, world class. We will forever be grateful to them for
everything they have done for our beautiful girl and they will always be
a massive part of our lives.
There is no price that can be
placed on this, nor anything than can mend our heartache and bring our
little girl back, but giving, spreading the word of Beatrice's page and
making as much as we can for this incredible hospital will help other
children and their families like us. Through this the positive legacy of
our beautiful Beatrice will live on.
We thank you all so much for your support, love and generosity
