My story
Back in June, I was in the Emergency Room at Harlow Hospital. Struck down with pneumonia. Lee Evans walks in, sees me, and asks if I’ve got any last requests. “Yeah, I wanna run the marathon,” I wheeze, with what felt like possibly my final breath. “You do it, I’ll do it!” he said, feeling relaxed as he sat on the bed and squeezed my oxygen tube…for a laugh!
But here we are, a few months on and we’re only bloody doing it. I am holding Lee to his word because by an accident of birth I was saved from certain death by medicine and good care. Being born in Britain we have a chance - our kids can be saved if struck down with pneumonia…the biggest killer of children across the world. The statistics are sobering. More than a thousand kids in India a day die from pneumonia. Parents mourn the death of their child whether it’s Derby or Dehli.
Every donation will save a child’s life.
Lee:- “Everyone looking at this site, donate something. That’s an order. For the price of a cup of tea you can save a child’s life. ‘Hold that second cuppa Doris, today I’m saving lives!’ Then walk out of the café, your head held high and give it a chorus of ‘What Have You Done Today To Make You Feel Proud?!’ ”
