Story

This will be my second challenge for the Grace Crocker foundation. The first being the three peaks, to date that was the hardest challenge I have ever done! Which consisted of lots of training and going to places in your mind you never thought you go! 

Knowing Nigel Crocker most of my life, this charity is close to my heart. Sara and Nigel do a incredible job raising funds for other families who are going through the same experiences. 

This is a challenge totally out of my comfort zone (literally). Standing in a ring getting punched! I can think of better things to do, but the training I will of gained and the money raised will all be worth it! 

About the charity

The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation was set up in January 2011, in memory of Grace Crocker, who grew her angel wings aged 11 weeks. Grace was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (A congenital heart disorder in which the left side of the heart, particularly the left ventricle, is underdeveloped. The first part of the aorta may also be abnormal. Affected babies usually develop severe heart failure within the first few days of life), and had open-heart surgery when she was just 5 days old. Her family lived in Jersey, and so they had to move to Southampton for three months whilst Grace recovered from her surgery, including her brother and sister as well as her mum and dad. She met lots of friends and family when she was allowed back home to Jersey, and in the month that she was home, she touched so many people’s lives. As a result of our own experience, we set up this charity with the support of friends and family, with the aim to help other families from Jersey who need to spend time in the UK whilst their child receives medical treatment in a hospital. It is worrying enough when your child is sick, without being faced with additional financial worries, and so we would love to help families in some way, by providing them with some financial assistance and emotional support too.
