125 Mile Walk · 27 April 2025

1 in 125 babies are born with CHD. CHSF supports Leeds Congenital Heart Unit, it's patients and their families. We fund lifesaving equipment, parent accommodation, staff training, and a family support service. 100% donor-funded, we can only do this with your help. Empowered lives, because of you.

Story

My youngest daughter (Harper) had a VSD that required open heart surgery at 6 months old.

The stress for me and my partner when Harper was having surgery and also seeing her after surgery was unbearable, I can not begin to think what it is like for the patients who are actually going through the surgery and also other families.

I can’t thank the Sheffield children’s hospital and Leeds hospital and the children’s heart surgery enough. This is why I’ve decided to do this walk.

1 in 125 babies are born with congenital heart defect. So I’m going to walk 125 miles which roughly leads me in to Watford.

With me and my family being big Wednesday fans, we thought it would make sense to walk to vicarage road when it’s Watford Vs Sheffield Wednesday.

Any donation is so valuable for this amazing cause to help children and parents going through the difficult period of waiting for the surgery and the surgery its self and also the recovery.

Friends and family surprised me and did the walk with me! Special thanks to all them and also a big thank you to

Thorney and Pingu for sorting the surprise with the walk

Patrick Seal for helping me with the fundraising

Cawth for sorting the video

Brendan Williams for sorting out the shirts

So please if you can spare any money can you give a donation!

Thanks for the taking the time to read this.

Nick
