London Marathon 2023 · 23 April 2023 ·

It offers help and support to families of babies and children diagnosed with heart defects. It provides a support line and regular ward visits for parents during their time in hospital with their sick child. Its aim is to bring the families together at social events, where they can meet with other families, share experiences and the children make new friends.

Story

This is really Nathaniel's story not mine...

In December 2020 my nephew, Nathaniel, was born prematurely at 33+4 weeks with a fetal diagnosis of Tetralogy Of Fallot, a Congenital Heart Defect. 

Little did we all know his journey was just beginning, Nathaniel spent 5 weeks at home before he was admitted onto the Birmingham Children’s Cardiac Ward with breathing difficulties. In addition to his heart condition he was diagnosed with Laryngomalacia and spent most of the first 6 months of his life in hospital.

Since his open heart surgery in May 2021, Nathaniel has proven himself to be such a strong and resilient little man with a smile for everyone. It has not been smooth sailing, however Nathaniel continues to go from strength to strength. 

In his honour, I will be running London Marathon in 2023, supporting ‘Young at Heart’ a charity based at Birmingham Children’s Hospital who help provide life saving equipment for the hospital and support families like my sister's, with children or babies with congenital heart defects ♥️
