My story

 

 

DID IT!!! 3 hours and 30 minutes!!! Thank you so much for sponsoring me.....

 

Hi there everyone....I'm attempting the Eton Triathlon on Sunday 5th July 2009 (Olympic distance!!!) This is going to be a massive challenge seeing as I'm exhausted after 2 stokes of front crawl!!! I would like to raise as much money as possible in memory of two beautiful girls, Holly and Olivia who gave so much joy to everyone who loved them...

Here are some words from their mum Karen...

Holly had to have a life saving heart transplant aged only 6 months old. Following her transplant she was treated by the cardiac ward at the Bristol Children's Hospital. She died in September 2008 from a complication related to her transplant at aged only three and half years old.

Holly's little sister Olivia, sadly died shortly afterwards in December 2008 from an infection similar to meningitus that caused septicaemia . She was looked after by the Intensive Care team at the same Hospital. Because of the care and treatment that the girls and their family recieved from the hospital we have set up a 'Holly and Olivia Harding Memorial' fund under the umbrella of Above and Beyond Charities. 

The money raised goes directly to the Bristol Children's Hospital Intensive Care and Cardiac wards providing direct help to other sick children and their families. This is all done in memory of Holly and Olivia Harding who will remain in our hearts and minds forever.  It is some comfort to the people who loved them to know that positive things are happening because of two very special little girls. Thank you again.

Donating through Just Giving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us. Above & Beyond Charities gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Just giving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you once again for your kind support.  Holly and Olivia's friends and family xx
