I am asking all to sponsor me in a 5k run in London on the 6th December 2009 to raise money for King’s College hospital.
This is for the help and support that King’s College Hospital has shown to my sister Gemma and her partner Dan. Who her 20 weeks scan at QEQM hospital had found a problem w...ith her baby that she is currently expecting. They had been told he has a diaphragm hernia. To those who do not understand what this is, it is a whole in the diaphragm in which has allowed some of the babies organs up in to the chest cavity. This has not allowed the Lungs to be able to form properly.
At the present moment in time Gemma has had two operations to the baby whilst still inside her to put a balloon in the babies windpipe to try to expand the lungs out in order for them to be able to grow, the first did not work and we are waiting to here news that it has the second time and the balloon is still afloat from the operation.
All the operations and pregnancy scans, check ups have now been passed from QEQM to King’s College hospital in London to constantly monitor the progression of the baby’s lungs. From the operation that has already been done there is still only a 50% chance of the baby survival.
My mum and I want to be able to give something back to the hospital charity for all the help and support given to Gemma, Daniel and the baby.
King’s College Hospital has the only Professor in Europe who will undergo these operations whilst the woman is still in pregnancy. They have a large team of people who specialise in these procedures, after the baby is born another team of specialists will take over at King’s to help with the survival of the baby further.
Please sponsor me and my mum as little or as much as you can afford and help me make a difference. To give something back to the amazing people that help save lives.
