Asher's Army
Campaign by Just4Children (RCN 1164473)
Just4Children is a fundraising charity campaign to help with our Cardiac Warrior Asher’s recovery after 9 months of being in hospital. He needs intense rehabilitation to get him back to fighting fit and hitting those important milestones.

Story

We are running for Asher!

Asher is our friend’s son, and he was born with a rare heart condition, Truncus Arteriosus, which went undetected at birth. At just 11 weeks of age, he was rushed to hospital in a critical condition and has been on an intense medical journey involving major heart surgeries, ventilator and ECMO support, multiple ICU stays, and complications including Covid, respiratory conditions, sepsis, and a stroke.

‘Asher the Smasher’ got through all of this and is home, being cared for full-time by his awesome mum Sian. He needs ongoing, intensive private rehabilitation including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and other equipment not covered by the NHS.

We will be running the Chester Half Marathon 2026 and as many other runs as we can in the time before it to raise money for Asher, to help him get what he needs. We are doing this for Asher but also for Sian, whose resilience, positivity and dedication never fails to amaze us.

Asher finds it hilarious when people fall over so it seems fitting that we’ll very likely be falling over the finish lines!

We know that time are tough but every little helps and will make a big difference to Asher.

Thank you,

Beth and Gemma x
