Why Kayleigh Did Her Own Thing
When 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.
