Bristol Children’s Hospital

My daughter Harriet was diagnosed with a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot on our 20 week scan. She underwent life saving open heart surgery in October 2024 at 6 months old.

Without the nurses, doctors and surgeons at Bristol Children’s Hospital Harriet wouldn’t be here today.

Harriet is now a healthy baby, who will live a normal life and apart from a scar that will always remind us of what we all went through, you wouldn’t know she was born with a heart defect.

Myself and three friends Michael Price, Michael Williams and Morgan Davies will be running/crawling from Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital in Cardiff to Bristol Children’s Hospital on Saturday 30th August 2025 to raise money for the Wallace and Gromit Grand Appeal.

The run will be 52 miles in distance and we hope to complete it in under 12 hours.

Any donations you make will go to the Bristol Children’s Hospital which saves the lives of babies and children from Wales and the South West of England.

Thank you!

Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal is the only charity that fundraises exclusively for Bristol Children’s hospital and the neonatal intensive care unit at St Michael's Hospital, to provide facilities and comforts for patients and their families.

The Grand Appeal raised £12M towards the new building for the child-friendly hospital, which opened in April 2001. Since then, the charity has funded a wide variety of programmes for patients valued at over £5M including arts, entertainment, education, play and music programmes; equipment; family accommodation facilities; comforts for patients; ward enhancement and new medical facilities in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
