Please support me and my friend's son who needs a heart transplant

[Brett James-McCall]

Firstly - Thanks to Ron for letting me post inthe All GT40 section

I’ve decided to ride from Paris to London in 3 days to raise funds for the BHF (British Heart Foundation), so they can help research and prevent people being affected by and unfortunately dying prematurely from heart disease.

Brett, The link doesn't appear to work. However, copying and pasting it in a new browser window (IE 9) works just fine. Good luck with your efforts and thanks for taking the time to help this family. Bill

Thanks Bill, I'll try again... I copied out of a Word document I was writing it in and the tags messed the HTML up

Hi Brett !

I had the same problem. I cut and pasted and it got me there. But after filling out the information, the page frooze up, when confirming the donation. So I don't know if it went through. I'm going to be leaving shortly, but will check back later. I just checked, before I posted, and it is still froozen. I'm going to close it and will try again later.

Best of luck !!
Regards Brian

Thanks everyone for your support so far, it is really appreciated

With baby number 2, 7 weeks away and still finishing the house, having to train for this means the car may be on the back burner again. However, some things in life are more important - cars can wait, heart transplants and little childrens' lives can't.

Thanks once again - I'm off trying to find Dragons in the Brecons on my bike this weekend...

Thanks everyone who has supported me so far, it is very much appreciated. We've already gone over the minimum amount I commited to try to raise and are currently sitting at just over £1600

Brett,

Think i just added another tenner to your total buddy, not to clever with IT but think it worked if not let us know.

Keep us updated on lads progress

Cheers

Karl

[Brett James-McCall]

Thanks Karl, much appreciated. Yes you managed it

Joshua is doing better now they have him on the Berlin Heart, he has stabilised a bit and is managing to put weight on Though it still loooks like he will need a heart transplant, as they are still having difficulty with the meds.

[Stephen Ducker]

Well done to Brett, & everyone who has donated to this really important cause.
Steve.

Thanks Everyone who has supported so far, I promised updates and failed miserably... mainly because of work, family and training.

The ride is next week and I am more than a little worried, as I have had a right leg injury which flairs up when riding anything over a 2 hour period - get your shares bought in Ibuprofen next week.


As for Joshua - he still is living in GOSH (Great Ormand Street Hospital) in a combination of ICU and HDU, that's now nearly 7 months. Most recently he went back to ICU, as they found a bleed in the brain, which was caused by the blood thinners he was on; it really is a fine line. The good news is that as he is getting a bit older he seems to be coping better and they have beenable to remove the Berlin Heart for the time being; the flip side to this is that he still requires a heart transplant, but he is now up to number two on the list.

If you are around by the London Eye/Jubilee Gardens next Sunday 16th late afternoon you may see me roll in finishing the event.

Updates can be followed through following me on Twitter as @Brett_GT40
