My Story
On the 19th October 2022 my identical twin boys, Sylvester & Seth, were born. On the 1st of November I took Seth to Whipps Cross A&E as he wasn’t his usual self. In the early hours of the following morning, I was woken by the emergency alarm and a Dr calling for the resus trolley. Seth had stopped breathing. He required CPR. Given this, he was intubated and ventilated. Seth was transferred to St Mary’s Hospital PICU for further management.
In total, Seth was in PICU for 3 (very long) weeks, receiving respiratory support while fighting off 3 viruses. While the doctors, nurses and physios did everything to save our son, COSMIC did everything to support my husband and I. Amongst other things, they put us up in their hotel within the hospital, meaning we could be with Seth as much as possible. It was an extremely tough time, given I also had another newborn son, Sylvester, and my one year old daughter, Cecily, to be cared for.
I will forever be grateful for the, much needed, care and support we received during this time. The least I can do to demonstrate my gratitude is run the London Marathon ! Nothing will be as hard as those 3 weeks. I want to raise as much money as possible, so COSMIC can continue their amazing work.
Any donations will be greatly appreciated ! But if I could raise more money than Miles did, that would be even better.
