Thank you for taking the time to visit our Just Giving page.

David & Jason are running the Cardiff Half Marathon for Noah's Ark Children's Hospital in Cardiff in aid of David's son Alfie.

Alfie was born with CHARGE Syndrome.  CHARGE Syndrome is a rare and complex genetic syndrome which occurs in around 1 in every 10,000 live births worldwide.  It causes a pattern of often life threatening defects affecting the eyes, ears, heart, respiratory, genetalia and also causes development delays.

Alfie has had around 20+ operations before his 5th Birthday, most of them being at Noah's Ark Children's Hospital in Cardiff.

Please see the web link below for an insight into CHARGE Syndrome.

Alfie is now 7 years old and the Noah's Ark Children's hospital has cared for Alfie while he has been in hospital for numberous operations as mentioned above and have always given him the best care and attention he deserves.

Our mission is to support the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales and the thousands of children and families within it. Working hand in hand with people like you to do this, we fund:- state of the art equipment that saves lives, improves outcomes and makes treatment more bearable- facilities that allow parents and carers to access care as quickly as possible for their children and enable families to enjoy as much time as they can together- support services that make the hospital experience less stressful and more child focused.

Thank you for any donations you are kind enough to donate which will help care for Wales' sick children.
