On 5th December just after getting the keys to our new house, Jonathan's dad, Ian, was admitted into Calderdale Royal Hospital with pneumonia. It became so bad within 2 days he was in intensive care as he was struggling to breathe. After 2 days of trying everything they could to help him breathe, nothing was working and we was becoming more and more ill and then they decided the best option was to put him into an induced coma. He was in this coma for a week and they slowly started to bring him round just before Christmas. On Christmas day we heard him speak again for the first time. He  spent 47 days in hospital altogether. He is now still recovering at home. He has had to learn to walk and function all over again. 

Pneumonia effects so many people and if it isn't caught quickly enough it can be deadly. 

Jonathan and i are so thankful for his dad still being here and wanted raise money to help others who maybe in our situation. 

We are running the great North run in September and would be very grateful for any donatations large or small. 


Thank you x
