Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
I am 15 years old. In May 2007 I had a heart operation - since I was about 2 years old I have been monitored for a condition known as coarctation of the aorta - a narrowing of one of the arteries taking blood from the heart. The operation took place in LGI. I was in Ward 10 for 5 days and the doctors and nurses were fantastic. I saw many younger children who had already had several operations. Some families had to stay in the hospital for weeks. I want to do something to say thank you for all the help I received and to show that even after a heart operation it is possible to lead a normal active life. The CHSF supports the families of children in my situation and provides equipment for the unit.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Children's Heart Surgery Fund will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support. Also I am really grateful to Street Lane Cycles of Lidgett Lane Leeds 8 who are lending me with a custom built bike to use on the ride and also a racing bike for my Mum to ride.
