Sky dive for Heart Link Children's Charity

Donation protected
I have decided to do something I'd never forget for my 30th birthday this coming March 2021, so Ella's signed me up for a Skydive experience and all the money donated will go to The Heart Link charity who supported us during our stay in hospitals and after our son Joey passed away.    As some of you may know, in 2016, we had our first born son Joseph, he sadly passed away after 27 days due to Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia.  For the care he needed we was transferred from Diana Princess of Wales hospital to Sheffield Jessops Wing then onto Glenfield Hospital in Leicester and back to Sheffield Jessops Wing all within the month for specialised care.     During our stay in Leicester and Sheffield hospital The Heart Link charity helped us massively, they provided accommodation for us close enough to be with Joey while he was receiving ECMO treatment within a 2 minute walk of the hospital. They provided us with a living grant to pay our bills back at home while we stayed by Joey's bed side and still provide us with enough to buy any necessities we needed at that time.   This charity really did go above and beyond for us even when we was transferred out of Leicester's care back to Sheffield Jessops they still stayed in contact asking for updates on Joey's health, checking how we was coping and if there is any additional support we needed.    Unfortunately there is families that go through similar to us everyday all over the country that need their support just as we did. I would love to be able to give this wonderful charity something back for their continuous support throughout the hardest time of my life.
