Our Beautiful Daughter Steph had a stroke three days after her 21st birthday and two more since, after 3 years we found out they were brought on by a hole in her heart after a bubble test, after 5 hours in the BRI hospital cadiac unit we have been told it can be fixed doing a PFO operation but sadley all funding as been cut and she cannot have the operation done on the NHS, It cost around £16,000 to have done private but this is the only way, it is a life saving operation and the exact words of the heart surgeon "it needs doing sooner rather than later, time is of the essence" so please if you can help in any way without making yourself go without please donate as little or as much you could afford, this will make such a massive difference to such a bright intelligent girl who is always giving so much and she has a heart of gold, steph's personality ..she helps everyone ,she makes you laugh and she takes everything on the chin even when she is poorly, Steph walks into a room and it lights up.

We would also like to thank Dr Mark Turner at the BRI cardiac unit for his very vast knowledge and frank view on the situation.
