Swimming the Cannel with The Sensational Six · 16 April 2013

ECHO supports families affected by children’s heart conditions treated by Evelina London, Royal Brompton & Harefield & their networks of specialist local hospitals. ECHO offers practical & emotional support throughout their journey, welcoming them to a community of shared experience & understanding.

Story

Basically I get up in the morning and make stuff look good - I love my job, but some people get up and work tirelessly to help people who are suffering. The Evelina helps children with some of the worst conditions going and the staff are not blessed with the massive royalty donations that its more famous cousin, Great Ormond Street enjoys. My aunt (Hi Pen) has worked all her professional life in Pediatrics, Neo-natal and pediatric encology and it is a hell of a burden to carry - I am swimming the channel as I have never been a swimmer and find it pretty tough - it seemed like a good mirror of what they do every day and a good way to raise money for an institution whose staff sacrifice such a lot to help us when we need it most - please help me raise as much money as possible - the target is no doubt very hopeful, but anything you can do would be greatly appreciated - all costs are paid by me so all money goes to the Evelina - Thank you :) Owen
