Story
Our family was shocked to its core 6 weeks ago when our precious little niece Olive had, what we have learnt now to be, a stroke! Her mum and dad have been through hell and back the last few weeks, with Covid making it a lot harder! Olive is a warrior, there is no other word to describe her. Through everything she has been through she has managed to try and smile. Even after a 7hour brain operation she still gave us all a thumbs up on FaceTime.
Olive has been accepted to a rehab centre called Tadworth which is run by an amazing charity called The Children’s Trust. Where she will stay for 12 weeks of intense physio and therapy. The bad news is there is a waiting list to go to Tadworth and all the advice given is that time can’t be wasted with a brain injury and the NHS do not offer the emergency rehab that Olive needs.
If any of you know Tom and Gemma well enough you will know how caring, hard working, selfless people they are! If we can just help them in the slightest with olives care then we are doing our bit!
This is where we come in. On May 1st Liam is going to be riding from Great Ormond Street to Hainault Forest to help raise money to fund Olives care. It is 20 miles and some family will be joining him for stints along the way.
If you could please donate anything at all to help this amazing family but, more importantly, our little Olive we would be forever grateful!

3 years agoHi All, just a little update unfortunately we are having reschedule Liams bike ride :( ! Toby is having to isolate 🤬 due to someone in his class testing positive for Covid! Due to this being a family event we felt it wouldn’t be fair to carry on without Toby being able to attend! The ride will now take place on Saturday 15th 2weeks later than the original date! So sorry guys Liam is absolutely gutted xxx

3 years agoWe want to say a huge thank you to everyone for your amazing generosity. And a big thank you to our nephew Liam for doing this. Olive is very lucky to be surrounded by such lovely & supportive friends and family, which we are certain is contributing towards Olives recovery. Liam started this as he really wanted to help pay for a couple of treatments and thanks to all your generosity it has become something else.

3 years agoWe have found some amazing therapists and she is continuing to amaze us with her resilience and determination every day. Any money we don’t use for her therapy we will be donating to Great Ormond Street Hospital and The Children’s Trust rehabilitation centre in Tadworth. Thank you all so much. Love Tom, Gemma, Maisie and Olive.
