Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am fundraising for the Evelina Children's Hospital Charity (ECHO). On 21st December 2016 our son Thomas was born with a very rare heart condition called Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome (HRHS), he also has Tricuspid Atresia, Pulmonary Atresia and VSD. This basically means that he only has half a working heart so needs a lot of help from the Evelina. He has had his first major heart operation and is due for a few more in his lifetime along with various other procedures. Without the help of this fantastic hospital and the facilities that ECHO provide as a charity our son may not be here today. 


I have decided to fundraise for the Evelina Hospital and for the charity ECHO by firstly wanting to conquer my fear of heights. I will be doing a walk on top of the o2 arena in London (date to be confirmed), which for me is a massive step, and just a small thing to raise money and show my appreciation to such a fantasic team of doctors/nurses/cardiologists etc. The list is endless, but without all of these our son would not be here. I haven't set a limit to the amount to raise, because for me I just want to raise as much as I can so that in the future other families will be able to benefit from the fantastic facilities and support this place offers.

Any additional money raised after a target is hit for ECHO will be going to Little Hearts Matter who have also been fantastic in offering family support.

Thankyou to everyone that firstly is willing to read this, but that is also willing to put money (however small) into such a fantastic cause

Thankyou 👍
