Story

💗 Raising Money for The Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity 💗

I’m raising money for a cause incredibly close to our hearts- Bristol Children’s Hospital. In support of the strongest girl I know, Emma Rowlands, 12y

Emma was just 8 years old when her life changed forever. Whilst on a skiing holiday with her Mum, Dad & brother in France, she suddenly became seriously ill and was diagnosed with kidney failure. Since then, she has faced more challenges than most people could imagine.

Over the years, Emma has undergone multiple procedures including dialysis at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and eventually received the most precious gift of all — a live kidney donated by her mum.

Now, after recently battling pneumonia, Emma is back in hospital due to having a collapsed lung, fluid on her heart/ lungs & fibrinous material in her pericardial sac. Despite everything she has been through, she continues to take it all in her stride with courage, strength, and the most inspiring attitude.

To help raise awareness and money for this amazing charity, I’ll be taking on a skydive challenge! 🪂 Every donation, big or small, will help support families and the incredible work at Bristol Children’s Hospital.

If you’re able to donate or even just share this post, it would mean the world. Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping raise awareness for such an important cause. 💗
