    Story

    I am creating this fundraising page in support of little Lucas Calvin who arrived into the world on Friday the 30th of December 2016.

    This was not just a routine birth but one that not only surprised Mother Kirsty and Father Walker but the whole family.

    Little Lucas was born 16 week premature (24 weeks into pregnancy) weighing a mere 1lb 3oz and measuring 29cms in length at Wishaw General hospital.

    On the 4th of January Lucas was moved to the Southern General Hospital in Galsgow to allow him to receive the best possible specialist care that his little body required.

    There have been complications, good days, bad days and he's showing all the signs of being a little fighter!

    On Wednesday the 18th of January mother Kirsty was able to hold little Lucas for the 1st time since his birth a milestone in this little boys fight.

    The family are giving all their support to mum and dad and have taken on a role than many of us will never ever experience in our lifetimes.

    As a show of support for Lucas and his family myself and my good friend Alistair Browning are hoping to raise as much funds as possible in order to give them and little Lucas the reassurance that any financial costs and implications with his ongoing care will not cause the family any unnecessary stress and worry. Their concern and love will be dedicated to supporting this little boys on going battle.

    Alistair and I are running the Stirling marathon in May and hopefully the New York marathon in Novemebr as a show of our support and to raise as much awareness for this great cause!

    Any donation is greately appreciated by myself, Alistair and the family and we encourage everyone to share this page with their extended family and friends.

    Thank You

    Just a quick update to say that little Lucas came through surgery yesterday 23/01/2017 and shows all the signs of being a little fighter!!!!

      After spending the 1st few months of his life in hospital, our little fighter Lucas is finally allowed home to mummy and daddy! He's spent his 1st few nights in his new house and is making remarkable progress! He is now over 6lb in weight and mummy, daddy and brother Zac are so happy to have him home! Please share and donate to this incredible boys little life! Less than 3 weeks until the marathon and let's just say the effort and pain experienced will be nothing compared to what this family has gone through! 💙💙💙

      Our little miracle boy Lucas is almost 8 weeks old now and recently has been off his ventilator and taking his very own breaths. He has doubled in weight from 1lb 2oz to an amazing 2lb 4oz in his short little life and is now feeding around 7mls of milk every 2 hours! He continues to fight his amazing battle and with the family's love and support of all their friends Lucas is in the safest, most caring and loving place to continue his development! Please continue to share this amazing story!
