Story

Hi Everyone .

So … I have decided to take part in a charity tandem 15K skydive along with my close family - my partner , dad , two brothers and my best friend Marie to raise money for The Children’s Hospital Charity .

Last year , July 5th , we welcomed our baby girl Orla Dolly in to the world believing we were in the clear after a very troubled pregnancy . However , at 5 days old she was admitted to Sheffield Children’s Hospital onto the Neonatal Surgical Ward (NSU) . One week later she was taken to theatre for 7 hour long surgery (left upper lobe excision) and taken to ICU for work of breathing . Following surgery Orla had two unexpected air leaks meaning she had to return to theatre for several chest drains inserting until the leak healed itself . In total she was in hospital for 5 weeks & 2 days .

This time of our lives was extremely difficult but the staff on the NSU were all incredibly supportive . They were kind , caring , considerate , everything nice !! We will never be able to thank them enough for all they did and will forever be indebted to them but we , as a family , would like to give something back .

Please , if you will / can , let’s raise as much money as possible so others can receive the care and support we did .
