Hi, my name is Carol.

I'm fundraising for my cousin Hilary, her husband Stephen (or Ryano as he's better known) and their 3 beautiful young children.

October 10th 2025 is a day Hilary, her family and friends will never forget.

Ryano had emergency open heart surgery. What was supposed to be a straight forward cardiac procedure took a turn for the worse. After over 12 hours in surgery, Ryano was in heart failure and was put on life support.

He is fighting his hardest battle and is slowly improving day by day but has a very long road ahead of him.

This devastating situation has massively changed their lives and their future.

So I'm asking for help to ease some of the burdens they're facing in the weeks and months ahead.

Any support no matter how small would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this xx
