Story
Im running the London Marathon and Im hoping to raise money for 2 causes. In 2016 Cai spent 51 days on life support, ECMO at Glenfield and two other ICU's. He had become acutely critically ill with pneumonia and Sepsis, his organs began to close down and we were told he only had hours to live. His heart was pierced by the cannula so he had emergency OH surgery in his room..he survived. He was incredibly brave, we experienced the worst time of our lives and are forever grateful for the opportunity he received in being gifted ECMO. Locally we have our Community Hospital where there are mini miracles happening for people recovering from serious illness and sadly those being nursed at the end of their lives. The things we know are common for us all are the support families and patients need during these difficult times, so Im hoping to booster funds to provide basic comfort and/or activities for patients and family members Please can you help me make a little bit of difference x
