We support Evelina London to provide compassionate, trailblazing care
Story
Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page This is for a great
cause so give what you can :) I am doing a Sky dive for a very close
family friend, Daisy-Mai Ansbro. This is to raise money for the Evelina
Children's Hospital at Guy and St Thomas Hospital in London. I will be paying for the sky dive myself so all the money raised will go straight to the charity :)
Daisy was born with a condition called transposition of the great arteries
(TGA). This is where the main arteries in the heart are reversed causing
oxygen-poor blood to be pumped around the body. Daisy Mai had surgery to switch
the arteries, which normally has a 97% success rate. Unfortunately she fell
into the 3% category. With the help from all of the staff at the Evelina Ward
and the use of Ecmo, a brand new innovative machine, Daisy is now a very
healthy child, because of the incredible care she received at the Evelina children's Hospital.

Daisy-Mai’s treatment please visit

I would like to raise as much as possible for the hospital that took such good
care of beautiful Daisy-mai.
Wish me luck its very high!!!
