Team: Remembering Olive Martin
In memory of Olive Martin
Story
A good friend and colleague recently lost his baby daughter Olive to a complex heart condition this year. In her memory The Olive Martin Fund was set up to help support the incredible care provided by Great Ormond Street Hospital every hour of every day.
Paul and Clare put it best:
Our beautiful daughter Olive was born on 7th June 2014 with a very complex heart condition, sadly too complex even for the team at Great Ormond Street Hospital to fix. After two 9-hour open-heart procedures in the space of a week, and another week of being fully supported on ECMO, our brave little girl passed away in our arms on 22nd July 2014, only 6 weeks after she was born.
Why are we doing this? Clare and I are determined that everything we do in Olive's memory can help other sick children and their families. For this reason we have chosen to support Great Ormond Street Hospital – specifically we want to fund break-through heart research projects and also contribute to further advance the care of all GOSH patients and families.
By remembering Olive in this way we'll be doing all we can to ensure Olive made a difference in the world – and that will make us very proud.
