Emily Rose was born in Peterborough City Hospital on 11th May 2011 with a very rare, severe heart condition called HLHS.
Immediately after being born Emily Rose was taken to Great Ormond Street Hospital where she was to undergo a series of life saving operations to rebuild her heart, as untreated there is a 95% mortality rate. After 3 weeks of treatment Emily Rose was deemed strong enough to go home for the first time on 6th Ju...ne 2011, before unfortunately passing away on 15th June 2011.

During her short life Emily Rose and her parents were given fantastic care and support by the people and staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital and because of this they would like to give something back and potentially help other parents who find themselves in a similar situation.
