Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have chosen help raise money for The Brompton Fountain, in association with the 'Theo Walker Fund'. I cared for Little Theo for a lot of his time in hospital and have been overwhelmed with Dan and Lucy's courage and strength, and would love to support them, as they continue to help and support other families and children at need in my workplace.
Theo Walker was born on 20th November 2009 and died four and half weeks later on 21st December 2009 from the congential heart condition, Pulmonary Atresia with intact ventricular septum.
Dan & Lucy knew before Theo was born that he would require many complex operations, however following his birth it became clear that his condition was too complicated for the surgeons to be able to perform the procedures they had planned. Palliative care for what remained of Theo's life was all that was possible.
All the family received the most wonderful care and support from the nurses and doctors of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit ('PICU') at The Royal Brompton Hospital for nearly two weeks, before they were unexpectedly able to take Theo home for the remainder of his short life.
The Theo Walker Fund aims to help families that still have 'their Theo' and rely on the truly inspirational and caring paediatric nurses and doctors of PICU at The Royal Brompton Hospital, Heartline, and Chase Hospice for Kids.
The money raised from the the 10km walk will go directly to Heartline. Heartline is a voluntary organisation set up to offer help and support to families of children with heart disorders regardless of how slight or severe the condition may be. Heartline has been and continues to be a huge support to Lucy and Dan.
