164 - Mile Challenge · 3 February 2025

The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation was set up in January 2011, in memory of Grace Crocker, who grew her angel wings aged 11 weeks. Grace was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (A congenital heart disorder in which the left side of the heart, particularly the left ventricle, is underdeveloped. The first part of the aorta may also be abnormal. Affected babies usually develop severe heart failure within the first few days of life), and had open-heart surgery when she was just 5 days old. Her family lived in Jersey, and so they had to move to Southampton for three months whilst Grace recovered from her surgery, including her brother and sister as well as her mum and dad. She met lots of friends and family when she was allowed back home to Jersey, and in the month that she was home, she touched so many people’s lives. As a result of our own experience, we set up this charity with the support of friends and family, with the aim to help other families from Jersey who need to spend time in the UK whilst their child receives medical treatment in a hospital. It is worrying enough when your child is sick, without being faced with additional financial worries, and so we would love to help families in some way, by providing them with some financial assistance and emotional support too.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

During the month of February, Grainville School will challenge its staff and students to walk, run, or jog the distance from Jersey Hospital to Southampton Hospital—a total of 164 miles—to raise money for the Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation. This foundation exists to support Jersey families in need of medical treatment at home or abroad.

Staff and students will compete in teams to complete the 164 mile challenge. The challenge will also be undertaken as a whole-school house competition, the more involved the more miles each house will clock up to go towards their final total!
