Joshua's Story

Little Joshua, 19 months, contracted meningitis and was treated at the Children's Hospital for Wales. Mum Karen and her family found it a very tough time, but Karen says of the hospital: "The care Joshua received, the care we even received, and after care for the whole family was simply perfect. We can't thank you and the staff enough for saving our boy." After Joshua made a full recovery, Karen wanted to thank the hospital in a big way - so she decided to run a marathon in the Big Apple! Karen has so far raised £1166, and you can read more about her in our News section.
