In memory of Edward Barker
We raise money to help treat & beat heart and lung disease

Story

Harry and Edward were born on the 20th March 1989. Edward was born with serious heart defects. He was referred to The Royal Brompton Hospital when he was three months old. Doctors at The Royal Brompton  were prepared to treat Edward when others had given up. The surgery he had then, and later when he was four years old, allowed him to live a full and active life until he was taken seriously ill and sadly died on the 7th January 2014, at the age of 24. 

Just seven weeks before, Ed's twin Harry also died suddenly in his sleep. This page is for donations in both of their names as Harry would have wished.

 

Donations will help research into heart disease, enabling other children born with similar conditions lead fulfilling and happy lives like Edward.

 

About the charity

We raise money to help Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals provide world-class care to thousands of heart and lung patients each year, and to support the hospitals' pioneering work in heart and lung disease diagnosis, treatment and research.
