Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Robin Hood Marathon in Memory of my niece  Megan Cynthia Whittaker. Megan was born with Tracheo Osophageal Fistula with Osophagea; Atresia, she was unable to swallow as her Osophogus was not connected and so was fed by tube and had a bag to replace the function of her bowel. Megan had attempts at corrective surgery but unfortunately on the 2nd attempt she went into cardiac arrest and was left brain damaged. Megan at 9 months picked up an infection which gave her wings and she flew peacefully away in the arms of mummy and daddy.

Megan's parents were given immense support from the Family Fund at a terrible time and had it not been for them Megan's Parents would not have had the time they had with her to build what memories they have of their daughter, my niece Megan Cynthia Whittaker.

Please help me give something back, to help other families who are suffering, struggling and trying to care of other children whilst caring for a sick child in hospital like Megan's parents.

I will HAPPILY  run 26 miles and do the 'legwork' all I ask is for a small donation from everyone who can spare it, please sponsor me.

Thank you.

Helen
