Why am I raising money?

As you may or maynot be aware my daughter was diagnosed with a rare lung tumor (PPB) back in January 09. Due to it's agressive nature she spent 3 months in intensive care at St Georges Hospital on a ventilator. While in PICU she was started on a course of Chemotheropy to shrink the tumor, which went on untill July 09. We have recently had to go to Great Ormund Street Hospital to have the tumor removed along with her right lung and much of her diaphragm. In this time she has been an absolute star and a great inspiration to everyone she has met along this long and difficult journey. We all love her dearly..

Who am I raising money for?

The Ellenor Lions (www.lionshospice.co.uk) have helped us immensely through this difficult time. They generally come a round to our house once a week (more if needed) to take bloods, give drugs and generally see if there is anything else we need to make life just that little bit easier.

"The Ellenor Lions Hospices vision is to enable the best quality of life and care for adults, children and young people who are in need of Palliative Care. We seek to reduce the burden of symptoms and stress and to support individuals and families."

They are a charity and give vital support to lots of people, so please give generously!

 

I am also raising money for PICU at St georges hospital, Please see my other justgiving page - http://www.justgiving.com/3-day-ironman-for-zoe/
