I've set up a new JustGiving page so that you can help support us through your Trusts or Charitable Foundations or individually, and as a bonus the Charity will be able to collect Gift Aid on individual donations as well.

Hi Everyone,

As most of you know, I went through a life altering experience last Christmas. I was in the Intensive Care Unit on life support for 2 weeks.

Thanks to all your best wishes, prayers and positiveness my family and I managed to come through the many obstacles we faced last December. I received the best possible care and medical attention at the time and I am very grateful for what Manchester Children's Hospital has done for me.

I'm climbing Mamtor in order to raise some money for the lovely doctors and nurses who helped me get through my illness.

Every penny will be used towards acquiring the latest technology to help children battle their illnesses. I would appreciate any help to achieve my goal.

Thank you all,

Lots of love
