Jack's half marathon in loving memory of my daughter Florence Brockman
Jack Brockman is raising money for Evelina London Children's Charity
Story
On 15/12/16 our darling Florence was born in the hospital birth centre at St Thomas Hospital. She was soon rushed down to the Neonatal intensive Care Unit part of the (Evelina Children's Hospital). There she was cared for by the amazing consultants, doctors and nurses.
Florence was born with congenital defects. Including 2 wholes in her heart, coarctation of her aorta, only one lung and only one kidney. At 4 days old we then discovered that Florence had a life threatening air way, she had long tracheal stenosis. This means that over half of her trachea was extremely narrow (1.6mm), it's effectively like you or I breathing through a very narrow straw.
Florence proved a lot of professionals wrong, they couldn't understand how she was alive. Florence's life was certainly a rollercoaster for her, myself and my partner (Bianca). Starting with Bianca's 20 week scan when we first found out there was complications with Florence's anatomy. Since then the Evelina staff have been incredible.
Florence fell asleep on 14.03.17 at the Demelza house children's hospice, she fought and fought until enough was enough. She was and always will be our inspiration.
So please share, donate do what you can for this amazing hospital. We are unbelievably grateful to of have almost 3 months with our beautiful baby girl and if it wasn't for the staff this wouldn't of happened.
