Story
Bobby is a 3 year old boy who has been through more in his short life than most of us could ever imagine. At 6 weeks old his mum, Emma, took him to hospital when her mother's instinct told her something was not right with Bobby. He was rushed to Alder Hey and got told he only had days to live. He had no blood going to his lungs, no pulmonary arteries, 3 huge holes in his heart, he had no chambers in his heart so all his blue and red blood was mixing and leaking through the holes. He also had only 1 artery coming from his heart only feeding blood to the body not his organs and that blood was mixed blood. At first he was told he was 'too complex' to work on but one surgeon did agree to try to help him and Bobby underwent his first operation.
He has since had many further operations and battled complications and infections but has always come back fighting. He is a true inspiration to us all. Not least because he has taken part in events to help raise thousands of pounds to help support other children with heart conditions and the hospital that has saved his life so many times.
Bobby is still very poorly and there is a long road ahead of him. Because of his condition he can't fly but he loves Disney and to have the chance to meet the Disney characters in person and experience a visit to Disney Land Paris would be a dream come true for him.
Please sponsor Dave Morris as he undertakes a 10,000ft parachute jump on August 9th in order to raise money for this worthy cause. If you can, please donate whatever small amount you are able to - now it's our chance to give back to this little superstar and help keep that amazing smile on his face!

6 years agoJump now done and what an amazing experience it was.......... I'd like to send a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has opened their heart to this amazing little man and his unbelievable, hard working mum and donated to such a worthy cause. I hope we've raised enough money to give Bobby his dream holiday to meet Mickey Mouse in Paris. If you still want to donate that would be brilliant, the page will stay open for a few more days. I'll update you when the page will be closing and once again, from a very grateful David Morris THANK YOU all.

6 years agoThanks to everyone who has donated so far. Almost half way there now. The jump is tomorrow (Thursday) so please send any additional donations ASAP so we can get this little boy on his dream holiday. Bobby has been poorly recently but as always is fighting every hurdle that comes his way. It all takes its toll on him though - especially given his cardiac condition - which is why we need to get him to meet Mickey Mouse sooner rather than later. Please help if you can. 💙
