At the beginning of January 2015, our gorgeous,smiling boy Max, passed away aged 10, suddenly and without warnng from an undetected heart condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Together we will be fundraising for the Centre for Inherited Cardiovascular Diseases at Great Ormond Street Hospital, the largest centre in the UK dedicated to the evaluation and management of the full range of inherited cardiac conditions in children.
