Life can change in an instant, and it did for my wife Emilie and me on our 3rd wedding anniversary. While on holiday in Herefordshire, Emilie suffered a major blood clot between her heart and lungs, causing her heart to stop for six minutes. Thanks to the incredible team at Hereford Hospital and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, Emilie fought through multiple complications whilst in a coma. We may never understand why this happened, but the support we received during this traumatic event was invaluable.

Now, we're determined to pay it forward by helping other families who are going through similar experiences. Our goal is to raise funds to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by unexpected traumatic events. We believe that every family deserves support tailored to their needs, and we want to make that happen.

Our top priority is working with Hereford County Hospital to find out how the funds can best be used to help families in similar situations. Any remaining funds will go to charities such as the British Heart Foundation and Thrombosis UK to support their vital work. We promise to keep everyone who donates updated on how the funds have been used and the impact they have made.

We're on a mission to bring hope to those who need it the most. Through a series of challenges, my amazing sister Gabriella and I are raising awareness and funds for our cause, and we invite you to join us on this journey.
