My story
Hello and welcome to my fundraising page!
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Richard Harris and I am a non executive Director for the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust in Birmingham. We are one of the largest hospital Trusts in the UK and look after a wide range of patients throughout the whole of the West Midlands.
I have been lucky to have gained a place in the London Marathon on Sunday 22nd April and have chosen to raise money for a cause that is very close to my heart. Please read my fundraising story below which is being featured in the local newspapers. If you could spare any money to donate to this fantastic cause, I am sure that along with the Hospital, and myself, that we would be very grateful for your support.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Solihull father runs marathon for sick newborns
A big-hearted father from Solihull is to run the London Marathon next weekend to help little hearts in the region.
Richard Harris plans to complete the 26 mile course in order to raise funds to buy baby heart monitors, otherwise known as CTG machines, and infant resuscitaires which form a vital part of the medical equipment used in the resuscitation of approximately one in 10 infants born in the three maternity units at Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust.
With more than 11,000 babies born each year between Heartlands, Good Hope and Solihull Hospitals, every mother-to be at the Trust will have benefitted from the use of a CTG machine during their pregnancy and it may also be used to help monitor infants after birth.
Richard said: “As well as being a father of three children myself, I also serve as a non-executive director at Heart of England and have seen first-hand all of three busy maternity units in action. It is a privilege to run for a cause that is close to my heart and to provide some level of additional support to newborns in the region. This will be my second time running the marathon so it isn’t a total step into the unknown – I am looking forward to the challenge.”
