Raising money for Great Ormond street Hospital

Hi all . My daughter Tiana was born in December 2007 with 2 heart defects, one of which is very rare called Alcapa, which went undiscovered until she was 10 weeks old. Tiana was transferred from Norfolk to Great Ormond Street Hospital on 5th march this year where she had two operations. It was touch and go for a while but with the fantastic care of the nurses there Tiana recovered and was transferred back to hospital in Norfolk in April where she continued with her recovery. Tiana finally came home at the beginning of June and is now doing really well.
My partner Kev is doing a 10,000 ft solo parachute jump on August 17th to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital to say thanks for saving our beautiful daughter's life.
You can read Tiana's story in full by visiting her personal blog www.bravetiana.co.uk
If anyone would be interested in sponsoring Kev then you can do so by going to www.justgiving.com/tianamackay

    I've just seen your posts, and have donated a small amout even though I've missed the date of the event.
    My youngest Son Adam was also born with a severe Heart defect which almost killed him at 3 days old.
    If it wasn't for all the wonderful staff at GOSH, I would have lost my Son 25 years ago, and have myself, like you raised thousands of pounds over the years.

    Wishing you and your family all the very best wishes for the future.

    Luv Jan xxx

    hi ya . Thanks hun. The parachute jump has not actually taken place and has now been cancelled 3 times due to bad weather. We thought it would go ahead today so got to the airfield but when it came to Kev's turn to do his jump the cloud was too low aso too risky for him to do the jump so we all had to come home again. The jump will now take place this weekend coming either on saturday or sunday fingers crossed lol .
    Really apprecaite your donation
