Raising money for

Evelina Children's Hospital Appeal

Charity Registration No. 251983

The Evelina Children's Hospital, at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, provides everything from routine care to life saving treatment for over 100,000 children every year. It is “a hospital that doesn’t feel like a hospital” and includes intensive care, neurology, and specialist heart and kidney units. Patients come from London, Southern England and much further a field for life threatening illnesses. While the children receive world-class care and treatment, NHS funding can not meet all the hospital’s needs. This is where the Evelina Children's Hospital Appeal steps in by raising money to buy the very best equipment and facilities.

My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Ben was born on 20 June 2007 under the care of Evelina Children's Hospital weighing just 4lb. He was diagnosed antenatally with a rare condition where the arteries of his heart were the wrong way round. At just 12 days old Ben underwent heart surgery at Evelina to correct his arteries. Ben had a difficult time in the operating theatre and post operatively, suffering 2 heart attacks, a collapsed lung and renal failure.

Due to his amazing strength and the incredible skill of the surgeons and doctors at Evelina he began to improve day by day. Ben stayed at the hospital for two months and finally came home on 31 August 2007 weighing 5lb.

Although still under the care of the hospital as an outpatient, Ben is a happy and energetic little boy who is constantly on the move!
