As many of you know, I have worked at Noah's Ark for nearly eight years and love what the charity does to support seriously unwell babies, children and young people as well as their families. I never thought we would be one of those families. On 12th June 2020, our beautiful baby Arthur was born. Arthur presented as a healthy baby, but after a few hours he had some very serious seizures. After much investigation Arthur was diagnosed with Alexander Disease. He was given up to two years to live. Sadly, Arthur had the most rare, and most aggressive form of the condition with his symptoms presenting as a neonate. This meant he became poorly rather quickly and passed away when he was just three months old.
Arthur was such a little dude. He was a massive Spurs fan, he loved the Black Horse pub in Barnet and harvesting cucumbers at our allotment. Noah's Ark gave us so much. Due to visiting restrictions, our family were unable to meet Arthur for the six weeks we spent in hospital - but at The Ark he met many of those who loved him, for the first time. After Arthur died, our family were all able to say goodbye to him at home and then Barclay & I spent time with Arthur at The Ark. These extra moments were so important to us, and without Noah's Ark it wouldn't have been possible. The team were there to help us navigate the challenges of burying our baby. We will never be able to thank Noah's Ark enough.
Thank you so much for your support.
