乐鱼体育

Meet10 year old Edie

In 2011 Edie was diagnosed with encephalitis and was rushed to the 乐鱼体育 with her first seizure. Despite being told to expect the worst Edie pulled through, but with severe epilepsy.  Edie has had many subsequent emergency trips to the hospital and many days and nights in the Ifor Children抯 Ward.

To give something back to the hospital Edie's Mum, Lucy, is raising �20,000 towards the refurbishment of the play terrace.

Lucy said, 憌e抳e spent many a day and night on Ifor Ward overlooking the outdoor space that could, with a bit of investment, be a really great place for recovering children to play in and for parents to get a breath of fresh air. I was delighted to discover there are plans to transform the space and wanted to get involved.�

By coincidence Lucy抯 friend Kerry is a paediatric consultant at the 乐鱼体育 and they decided to take on the 300km Kerala cycle trek together in March next year to raise much needed funds for the refurbishment of the play terrace. They have got off to a flying start, already raising over �6,000 of their target.  Edie has been fundraising too selling loom bands.

We are pleased to see Edie doing well and very grateful for Lucy and Kerry taking on this challenge.
