We sadly lost our son, Jimmy, in October 2023 after he suffered a cardiac arrest at our flat in Surbiton and stopped breathing.

Following quick intervention by the emergency services, Jimmy’s heart was restarted in the ambulance on the way to Kingston Hospital before he was transferred to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at St George’s Hospital in Tooting.

Jimmy fought so bravely over the next few days but sadly he was too ill to recover and went to sleep for the final time in our arms in PICU at St George’s.

We were devastated to have lost him so soon, but so grateful to have known our beautiful little boy for seven wonderful weeks. His big brother, Arthur, still talks about ‘Baby Jim Jim’ every day.

Jimmy gave the best cuddles and was most at home curled up on his mummy and daddy’s shoulder, like a little monkey.

We want to pass on Jimmy’s cuddles to other families whose children may be ill or to those parents, like us, who have lost their child.

One way we’re aiming to do this is in support of the ‘Time for a Change Appeal’, which aims to raise 5-million pounds to transform children’s services at St George’s – where Jimmy received such excellent care.

For our next event we're raising our very own Jimmy's Eleven to take on Long Ditton in a charity cricket match on Sunday the 18th of August.

The match will start at 1:30 pm and will be held at Long Ditton Cricket Club, Stokes Field, Betts Way, Long Ditton KT6 5HT. Radio Jackie's Neil Long will be there to provide the music and help us with our charity auction, which includes some great prizes!

The bar will be open all day and hot food and snacks will also be available. Every £1 spent on food and drink on the day will go towards our chosen charities.

If you would like to make a further donation in memory of our son Jimmy and to support this wonderful charity, who've done so much to support us, then we'd be very grateful.

Thank you all for your continued support, which means so much to us.

George, Ellie, Arthur and Angel Jimmy
