Why Kayleigh Did Her Own Thing

Kayleigh SugdenWhen she was nine weeks old, Kayleigh Sugden stopped breathing. She spent four weeks in hospital before undergoing open heart surgery to close two holes in her heart.

Kayleigh now lives the life of a normal five year old but the scar on her chest, which she calls “her zip”, is a constant reminder of her ordeal.

With her parents, Kayleigh, organised a charity fun day to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the successful major operation and raised an amazing £1,727. Mother Zoe said: "Although we could never repay the BHF for saving our daughter’s life we would like to think that we could help in some small way. We felt it was time to start giving something back."

We wish you the best of luck and hope you have fun with whatever you decide to do to help our life-saving and life-changing work continue.
