Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation's research and I'd be so grateful for your support.

Why I'm supporting The British Heart Foundation

On the 21st of August 1991 I went for Open Heart Surgery at a week old.

I was born with Congenital Heart Disease. My Mum and Dad took me home to my Brother who was about to turn the big 5. However I wouldn't swallow my milk, my grandma came round and got me to drink some, but it all came back up and my face had lost all its colour. The Midwife, Sister Orm, came out and called the Doctors. Dr Cavalier took one look at me and said to phone for an ambulance. 

We were taken to St Lukes, then the BRI where they stabalised me so I could go onto KillingBeck Hospital Dedicated to Heart Surgery. My brother went to sleep at Grandma and Grandads.

Eventually they found I had two holes in my heart and interrupted aortic arch. Dr Waterson and Dr Dickenson were the ones who did my surgery. I have never met Doctor Waterson, he was in the UK from Australia, he must have gone home. I have met Dr Dickenson in a follow up appointment and that was great. I have also met the Sister Orm who made the right decision. These people and many others are the reason I'm still here and choosing to support The British Heart Foundation.

With your support we can Beat Heartbreak Forever. We can raise money to save lives.

The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. 

Why I need you to support the British Heart Foundation

• £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist.   
• £50 provides over two hours of vital support from a Cardiac Nurse to answer patients questions about their condition.                                  
  
•  £150 can make a difference to a heart patients life
  

Every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. Thanks!
