Without their amazing expertise and committed staff, coupled with the tremendous generosity of a grieving family; Cat wouldn&rsquo;t be have been able to make such a remarkable recovery. The same goes for the thousands of other children with complex, life threatening illnesses the hospital treats each year. But their facilities are in desperate need of an upgrade; a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) is essential to support the enormous advances made in this field.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: &#39;Lucida Grande&#39;; color: #0000ff;">Please follow the below links for further details about Catherine&rsquo;s Appeal, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Organ Donation.</span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; line-height: 14.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&middot;<span style="font: 7.0pt &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Lucida Grande&amp;amp;quot;;">Love Heart Appeal:<a href="http://www.gosh.org/gen/events-and-appeals/appeals/cicu-appeal/">http://www.gosh.org/gen/events-and-appeals/appeals/cicu-appeal/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; line-height: 14.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&middot;<span style="font: 7.0pt &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Lucida Grande&amp;amp;quot;;">Great Ormond Street Hospital:<a href="http://www.gosh.nhs.uk/">http://www.gosh.nhs.uk/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent: -18.0pt; line-height: 14.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&middot;<span style="font: 7.0pt &amp;amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;amp;quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Lucida Grande&amp;amp;quot;;">Organ Donation:<a href="http://www.uktransplant.org.uk/ukt/default.jsp">http://www.uktransplant.org.uk/ukt/default.jsp</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Lucida Grande&amp;amp;quot;;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Lastly we need your help&hellip;</span><br></span></span><span style="font-family: &#39;Lucida Grande&#39;; color: #0000ff;">PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: &#39;Lucida Grande&#39;; color: #0000ff;">Every little donation is appreciated&nbsp;<strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">immensely</span></strong>.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: &#39;Lucida Grande&#39;; color: #0000ff;">We intend to keep you updated with training details, lycra outfits and helmet hair.
