Matt and Lucy took on two challenges to raise money for Maisie's Little Stars
They are racing in memory of one truly courageous and inspirational little girl Maisie Gooderham, the daughter of close friends Sally and Ian.
Below is Maisie's story, please read and hopefully donate as much as you can to Maisie's Little Stars, a charity Sally and Ian are in the process of setting up.
On the 7th August 2020 our world stopped spinning . Our beautiful little girl Maisie collapsed without warning at home due to a catastrophic bleed as a result of an undiagnosed Aneurysm. She was rushed to Addenbrookes hospital, Cambridge whereby the neurological team tried to save Maisie's life. After two weeks on the PICU ward & following 3 surgical brain procedures along with receiving unprecedented care from the medical staff, the agonising decision was made to turn her life support off x
21st August 2020 saw our precious Angel grow her wings leaving an irreplaceable void in our hearts and future.
It is with immense pride that Maisie was able to donate some of her organs and this decision was drawn from her caring nature and willingness to help others. This extremely special gift will have provided others the chance of life and we as a family can seek comfort when remembering our precious selfless Maisie 💕
Every day our beautiful girl is at the forefront of our hearts and minds inspiring us in everything we do. To continue her legacy, we are proud to be registering a charity in her name - 'Maisie's Little Stars'
Our aim is to raise money for 4 main reasons, all led with children in mind.
To provide funds for Maisie's Forever Garden located at her Primary school to continue to build & maintain an outside classroom for the children to learn & experience nature in a safe & fun environment .
Raise money to buy and supply Pyjamas & nightwear for PICU & Children's wards in hospitals in the East of England.
Raise funds towards The Sick Children's Trust a resource that supported us whilst Maisie was in hospital offering on site home from home facilities to families during the worst times of their lives.
A platform to raise awareness and support for organ donation.
All of these reasons are incredibly close to our hearts & every donation received makes one of those little stars a bit brighter ❤
