Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page 

I am fundraising for EACH - We offer care and support for children and young people with life-threatening conditions and support families across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk. We offer families flexibility and control over where they receive their care and support, including where their child dies; at home, in hospital or at one of three hospices. 

After a scary pregnancy and various tests, on 22 January 2014 I gave birth to my beautiful Archie at 26 weeks, 13 and a half weeks premature weighing a tiny 508g (1lb 1oz) by emergency C section, 150miles away from home.

I knew I would be in for the long haul and experienced every emotion going........

Despite being given a 50/50 chance of survival, Archie entered the world with fighting spirit and amazed medical professionals of his strength. He was very poorly, tiny and vulnerable and each day was touch and go. 

Archie lived a very short roller-coaster life, he endured 23 Blood Tranfusions, at least 30 infections, he fought sepsis many times, various IV lines, intubated for over 100 days, 3 lumbar punctures, told he wouldn't make the night and prepare for the worst at least 10times, he had many consultants and nurses over 4 different hospitals in the country and thousands of social media followers across the world. My son was famous! 

My beautiful Archie was such a fighter from minutes old but, unfortunately af the age of 8months and spending 7 months in hospital, he just couldn't fight anymore and grew his wings and flew to a better place.... He was too beautiful for earth❤️

EACH have treated Archie, myself and my family with such dignity and respect and I cannot even begin to imagine how I would have got through my darkest times without them. 

Every family with a sick child should be involved with these beautiful people. I still have support from EACH and love how they continue to keep Archies memory alive. 

On 27th September 2020 it will be the 6th anniversary of Archies death and I have decided that I am going to tick jumping out of a plane off my bucket list and fly high with him. 

I am scared and excited all at the same time and preparing myself for goosebumps! 

Please share and let's try and hit target for these wonderful people 

Thanks
