My story

 

On the 12th August 2001, I lost my first son Jack, to a serious heart condition called 'Tetralogy of Fallot'.  He was only 7 months old.  During his very short life, the specialist paediatric care that Jack received at the Glenfield Hospital in Leicester was everything I could have ever wished for.  Ever since then, I have wanted so much to give something back to the hospital that did everything they could to give Jack the very best possible treatment and care whilst he was alive.  My hope and dream is to purchase some new equipment for the Glenfield Hospital's, Children's Cardiology Department to help save the lives of the children that are cared for there. 

Last year I held a 'Charity Auction Night' in Jack's memory.  I was amazed on this evening to have raised almost £6,000.  Sadly though, this amount is still not enough to buy the equipment the hospital needs and so this donation is currently being 'looked after' by the Leicester Hospital's Charity, www.uhl.tr.nhs.uk/fundraising until I can add to it! 

I need to raise in excess of £16,000, which is why I am organising another fundraising event to be held at Warwick Castle, www.warwick-castle.co.uk on Friday 16th October 2009'. This will be a 'Mediaeval Banquet' hosted by my great friend and colleague Dave Moylan, (aka Nathaniel 'Lord' Bagshot).  For more information about Dave, please take a look at  www.alldonewithmirrors.co.uk.   Please also see our own website for more details.

We would love you to join us!  Please contact me directly for tickets at nicola.olorenshaw@hotmail.co.uk, but if you are unable to attend, then please donate anything you can on-line.  We are also looking for raffle prizes, so if you have anything that you can donate towards this, then please get in touch.  We would be so grateful for any support you could give us in making this fund raising appeal a great success.   Thankyou so much for taking the time to donate to this charity in Jack's memory.
