Story

Hi Guys and thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Please help me raise money for Little Hearts Matter.

Almost a year ago my beautiful niece Pearl was born. Unfortunately she was born with congenital heart disease. She has a condition called Tricuspid Atrusia which in basic terms means she only has half a heart.

Corrective surgery is not a possibility, however she is undergoing a series of pallative heart surgeries. To date she has had 2 open heart surgeries after going into heart failure. She is due her next heart surgery around the age of 4 years old. The family remains positive and hopes for future medical advancements.

Pearl is a very calm and happy soul. She is a very loving and smiley baby with an incredible ammount of strength. She's our hero.

Little Hearts Matter is a great charity which supports the families of children with single ventricle heart disease and promotes and funds research into these complex heart conditions with the aim of improving quality of life and life expectancy for these children. The website is www.lhm.org.uk

This will be my first half marathon, please help by sponsoring me if  you can.

Half a heart ....... not Half a life

Thank you

James
