Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am raising money in honour of Luca Fielding Richardson for the COSMIC Charity.
Luca was born on 25th November 2008 weighing 7lb 14.5oz. Despite being born a really healthy little boy, he tragically contracted a life threatening infection called Group B streptococcus (GBS) when he was only 17 days old.
Despite putting all his strength into fighting the infection, the illness was just too powerful, and it took hold of his body in the form of meningitis with septicaemia.
Despite Luca's incredible fighting spirit and all the extraordinary care provided by the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at St Mary's Hospital, Luca's fight for life was just too tough, and he sadly died 4 days later.
Without the support of the charity COSMIC (Children of St Mary's Intensive Care), only a fraction of what they achieve would be possible. Charitable donations via COSMIC have paid for nearly all the life-saving equipment on the PICU at St Marys Hospital, as well as funding research into the causes, effects and treatment of life-threatening childhood diseases.
Without the fundraising efforts of COSMIC, many more children would die each year. The unit could not exist without donations from people like you.
I have been training since January for my Boxing Match on October 23rd at Kensington Town hall, if you would like tickets then please contact me but either way please support this worthwhile Charity.
