3 year old Amelia is at GOSH awaiting a heart transplant after being diagnosed with dialated cardiomyopathy, a rare heart disease. She has been in hospital since June 2022, so now over half her life. She has suffered from numberous infections since first going to hospital, as well as sepsis, pneumonia, strokes and months of sedation. She is now fitted with a VAD machine to help keep her heart pumping blood. Amelia became a big sister after being in hospital for 6 months, so little Blossom has never been to her home in Chippenham.

Rich and Jodie have made generous donations to The Grand Appeal and The Sick Children’s Trust, and would now like to raise for The Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, and their family. They have all been incredible to Rich, Jodie and Amelia since day one, and they will all be forever grateful for saving her life on multiple occasions.

Thank you everyone for all your love, support & donations.
