Dear All,

Not long ago my boyfriend told me about his friend (name) & his family who are really struggling, both emotionally and financially, due to what their little baby girl is going through at the moment.

(name) is a brave 4 months old baby with a rare heart condition called ( name). So far she has managed to overcome 4 open heart surgeries, but her condition remains critical.

( about the condition)

( the baby's name) is staying in ( the name) hospital under close supervision of nurses and doctors. The parents commit _ hrs a day to be able to be with her. By doing so the family is getting under (?) financial strain as the both parents have given up (?) their jobs to look after their little baby girl, who also has two siblings.

Being a parent myself, I can only imagine what _ & _ are going through. I've decided to start this page in order to try and help financially the family of this little brave baby girl (name), so they were able to carry on looking after her and giving her love and care she needs.

I am currently training for my first marathon that takes place on 8th October in Bournemouth. The target is to raise £4,000 (£1000 for every month of her life) by this date.

We all go through difficult times in life, but when you are a parent and feel absolutely helpless watching your baby going through what _ is, the last thing on your mind should be "Can I afford not to go back to work tomorrow?" or "Do we have enough money to feed the kids?"

Every penny donated will go to _ family. I could not be more grateful for anything little you are able to donate to help them.

Thank you.

Julia
