Dad Runs 10K for Son's Heart Surgery Fund
8 Mar
Summary
- Unborn son diagnosed with severe heart defect requiring surgery.
- Charity Tiny Tickers provides crucial support and training.
- Father running 10K event to raise funds and awareness.
A father-to-be is set to run the City of Lincoln 10K on April 12th, spurred by his unborn son's diagnosis of a severe heart defect. The couple received the "heart-breaking" news at a routine 20-week scan, confirming their son will require immediate open-heart surgery upon birth.
They found solace and strength through the charity Tiny Tickers, which aids in the early detection of congenital heart disease and equips maternity units. The charity's support has helped the family feel more prepared for their son's upcoming surgery.
Steve, the father, is running with friends and family to raise awareness and funds, aiming to enable Tiny Tickers to continue its essential work for other families. The team has already raised over £7,000 towards their £10,000 goal.
