Tamra, mum to heart warrior Finley, asked for donations at Finley’s Christening as a way of giving back to CHSF…
“At seven months old, it was time to get Finley Christened. We wanted to put an extra special touch on his day by including Children’s Heart Surgery Fund in the Christening because as a family we owe them everything.” “At only 16 days old Finley had open heart surgery at Leeds Children’s Hospital, as he was diagnosed with TAPVD. Carin Van Doorn and her team did an amazing job and within 11 days we were going home.”
Tamra chose to ask friends and family for donations to CHSF at Finley’s Christening
“Without the team at the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit Finley wouldn’t be here today. That’s why, whenever we can, we try and raise funds to give a little back and say a big thank you for what they have done for us; for the care and support they gave us; and for the continued support we receive even now.”
Tamra took along CHSF collection boxes to collect donations and displayed leaflets to explain a bit more about the charity. As well as this, she bought Katie Bear pin badges to give out to their guests on the day and Finley wore a CHSF heart pin badge on his Christening outfit.
Tamra even had her own CHSF balloons made, and Katie Bear made an appearance on Finley’s Christening cake!
Thanks to Tamra and the generosity of family and friends a wonderful £120.76 was raised in celebration of Finley. Thank you!
Asking for donations around a special occasion is a simple yet impactful way to raise funds for CHSF.
You could fundraise at a Christening like Tamra, or perhaps at a birthday party, heart day or wedding.
Whatever the occassion, your friends and family’s contributions will make a real difference to the lives of heart patients, their families, and the incredible Leeds Congenital Heart Unit.

“While our time at Leeds was extremely difficult, it was made so much easier through the help of Children’s Heart Surgery Fund.”
Ashley is mum to heart warrior Autumn, who had heart surgery at the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit when she was just 13 hours old.
16 months on, Ashley decided she wanted to raise funds for CHSF and organised a tuck shop at the college she works at. She even went in on her day off (with Autumn in tow) to run it!
Ashley said:
“Autumn was born with an undetected heart structural issue called Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC).”
TAPVC is a rare congenital heart defect. It accounts for 1% of all congenital heart defects.
“At just 13 hours old, Autumn underwent open heart surgery at Leeds Children’s Hospital. We spent two and a half weeks on PICU, and a further two and a half weeks on Ward L51 and while our time at Leeds was extremely difficult, it was made so much easier through the help of Children’s Heart Surgery Fund.”
“CHSF helped us so much and we cannot thank them enough”
“Here are just some of the ways in which CHSF helped us…
- We were able to stay at Eckersley House through the support of CHSF.
- Autumn was on an ECMO machine and CHSF donations help to purchase these life-saving machines.
- I was able to express breast milk for Autumn using top equipment, funded by CHSF, enabling Autumn to get the best nutrition while recovering.
- They gift all children that have had open heart surgery with a Katie Bear teddy, certificate and medal.
- We were given petrol support to go home when we needed, and food vouchers which really helped a breast-feeding mum.
Children’s Heart Surgery Fund helped us so much and we cannot thank them enough – a lifesaving charity.”
Lauren, CHSF Community Fundraiser said:
“I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley and her husband Tom, and it was clear to see their enthusiasm to raise funds for CHSF.”
“The tuck shop at Barnsley College went down a treat and it was fantastic to hear the amount they raised was being matched by local business Oiltek.”
“I then had a further surprise when Ashley confirmed that in addition to the tuck shop funds, they had a further £685 in donations from family and friends on an online fundraising page. This brought their total raised to £979! We can’t thank them enough.”

“This year, I am doing the abseil for CHSF to celebrate my 50th Birthday and my daughter Charlotte’s 10th Heart Day!
“Our daughter, Charlotte, was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect (ASD) just after her first birthday in 2012. We first found out she had a problem when she was admitted to hospital with a bug.”
“We were referred to see the paediatrician, who then referred us to Leeds.”
“We first met with Dr Dom at Grimsby hospital who brought our world crashing down as we knew it. Dr Dom was great with us and explained everything and what would happen in a way we could understand. We still have the diagram of Charlotte’s heart that he drew for us.”
“He told us because of the size of her ASD she would need operating on before she was two. Dr Dom explained that they would normally like to wait until a child was older to operate.”
“Charlotte had her surgery in 2013 by our hero Mr Osama Jaber and his team. Everyone was so helpful and caring, from the doctors, nurses, porters, and domestic staff. Everyone’s role is so important to the unit.”
“All this on top of being five months pregnant with Charlotte’s brother Oliver, having hyperemesis gravidarum. Least I could have my foetal heart scan while Charlotte was in hospital that Dr Dom arranged for me.”
“Charlotte had her surgery in 2013 by our hero Mr Osama Jaber and his team. Everyone was so helpful and caring, from the doctors, nurses, porters, and domestic staff. Everyone’s role is so important to the unit.”
“All this on top of being five months pregnant with Charlotte’s brother Oliver, having hyperemesis gravidarum. Least I could have my foetal heart scan while Charlotte was in hospital that Dr Dom arranged for me.”
“Charlotte is now doing great thanks to the team at Leeds. She is on three-yearly reviews and will probably have two more reviews before being discharged from their care.”
“While on the unit we noticed a lot of things had been bought by Children’s Heart Surgery Fund. PICU had just been refurbished and a lot of the things had been funded by CHSF including the murals and what I called the ‘beepy machines’. The beeps became quite comforting – the alarms not so much.”
“We were provided with a room in ‘The Stables’ while Charlotte was on PICU. It was great to be nearby if we were needed. We were so far away from home and family.”
“Once Charlotte started to recover and was back on the heart ward, she loved walking to see the fish and playing in the playroom – all things supported by CHSF!”
“We decided to use Charlotte’s first Heart Day to have a party. We wanted to find a way to thank everyone at the unit for the excellent care we received. This somehow snowballed and Charlotte’s ‘Every Penny Counts’ Heart Day has become an annual event in our family calendar.”
“This year in addition to Charlotte’s Heart Day, I am doing the abseil for CHSF to celebrate my 50th Birthday and Charlotte’s 10th Heart Day! We are hoping to raise enough money to buy an INR kit. These kits mean that children can test their own blood at home to save hospital visits and they also feel they have some control over their treatment.”
Join Sarah and Children’s Heart Surgery Fund for the first CHSF abseil in almost four years.
You’ll climb the dizzying heights of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Harrogate, at an amazing 140ft. Then take a leap of faith as you abseil down to meet your friends and family.

If you think the last few months have BIN cold, spare a thought for Bradford brothers Matthew, Andrew and Jonathan who took a dip in a wheelie bin full of ice-cold water throughout the month of January! 
After his daughter Lauren had open heart surgery 10 years ago, heart dad Matthew started this challenge to mark the anniversary and to say thank you for the support and care they received at Leeds the decade before.
Matthew said:
“My youngest daughter Lauren had open heart surgery just over 10 years ago at LGI, in the first few days of her life. The support given at that time, and subsequently, will never be forgotten by myself, my family or our wider support group. I have always wanted to contribute to Children’s Heart Surgery Fund and say “thank you” in some way for everything that was done for us. Sorry it has taken 10 years!
“To fundraise for CHSF we did a January “Wheelie Bin Cold Dip Challenge”. This involved us dipping into garden wheelie bins each day that were filled with cold water – it was January, so this water was icy cold!
“We started at two minutes and increased the time by 15 seconds each day. By the end of the challenge on 31st January we were sitting in the wheelie bin for near 10 minutes. At no point did we add hot water and the only warmth we had was that we wore a new or different piece of head gear every day.
“The challenge was great and stirred up all types of different emotions for me, and those around me. But most of all I just have an overriding feeling of gratitude towards those who contributed and supported the challenge.
“Our family benefitted from the CHSF parent accommodation throughout Lauren’s time in hospital. This was a huge support at the time and took away the stress of travelling back and forth, from hospital to home, while Lauren was being treated.
“We know that the funds raised from this challenge will mean more families can be supported by CHSF, just like we were 10 years ago.
“I would like to specifically thank my ‘Bradford Bin Dipping Brothers’, Andrew and Jonathan Greenwood. ‘The Bradford Birds in Bins’ who are my other half, Jenny Cowen, Andrew’s wife Sarah Greenwood and Jonathan’s wife Alexandra Greenwood – also, to my two daughters Abby and Lauren.
“A huge thank you goes to our wider family and support group that has wrapped their arms around this crazy challenge and catapulted us up to a fantastic amount raised!
CHSF’s Community & Events Fundraiser, Lauren Procter said:
“We loved how unique Matthew’s idea was with his January fundraising challenge. So different, and most definitely challenging (!) in the cold January weather. We loved following Matthew’s journey on LinkedIn, and it was great to see how his family chose to join in too. Thank you to everyone who took part with Matthew and of course thank you to everyone who donated.”
Lisa Williams, Head of Fundraising added:
“When I first saw Matthew’s challenge, I thought wow…what a brave thing to do! Matthew and his family came together as a team, and they posted videos on a daily basis of their dips to raise further awareness and funds for CHSF. Their challenge even caught the attention of ITV Calendar, who featured on of the dips live on the programme.
“I looked forward to seeing the videos every day! To see the whole team giving 100% to this challenge was truly inspirational. They braved ice-cold temperatures every day and continued to share their JustGiving link, engaging their community of family, friends, and colleagues.”
Together Matthew and his family raised an incredible £7,570 for Children’s Heart Surgery Fund!
Team CHSF are so proud of what they have achieved and extremely grateful for their support. Thank you all for going above and beyond in your challenge.

“With advances in technology and medicine funded by Children’s Heart Surgery Fund I can live an independent life with an amazing family.”
We spoke to Catherine Bickerstaff, Mid West Yorkshire Caravan Club committee member and adult heart warrior, about her CHD diagnosis and what inspired the Club to fundraise for Children’s Heart Surgery Fund…
How has CHSF helped your family specifically?
“I was born on 24th December 1978 with congenital heart disease, a condition called Transposition of the Great Arteries.”
“I had my first procedure on Boxing Day at just two days old, followed by open heart surgery, a Mustard Procedure, in November the following year. In 1982 I had a further Mustard procedure.”
Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a serious, rare heart problem in which the two main arteries leaving the heart are reversed (transposed).
“I have had continual care, including regular outpatient appointments and tests both at Killingbeck Hospital and now Leeds General Infirmary. I have also had support from the foetal cardiology team that has enabled me to have two beautiful daughters of my own. I now live with an Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).”What is an ICD?
An ICD is a small device which can treat people with dangerously abnormal heart rhythms. It sends electrical pulses to regulate abnormal heart rhythms, especially those that could be dangerous and cause a cardiac arrest.
Why did you choose to fundraise for CHSF?“Children’s Heart Surgery Fund has always been a charity that is close to our hearts. My parents started fundraising for the heart unit at Leeds on 25th December 1978, as soon as I was born. Since then Children’s Heart Surgery Fund has been a charity we have continued to support.”
What fundraising have you completed for CHSF?
“My family and I are members of the Mid West Yorkshire Caravan Club. Each year we raise money for a nominated charity and for 2022 we nominated Children’s Heart Surgery Fund.”
“Monies were raised through a variety of activities through the year including auctions, raffles and one-off donations.”
Is there any advice you would give to other fundraisers?
“My advice to anyone thinking of fundraising is don’t set your expectations too high. Remember that every little helps.”
“Enjoy what you do and promote the charity at the same time, hoping that increased awareness will encourage others to generate further funds for CHSF in future!”
Is there anything else you would like to say about CHSF?
“It is amazing how technology has progressed since 1978. With advances in technology and medicine funded by Children’s Heart Surgery Fund I can live an independent life with an amazing family.”
“It was wonderful to meet the CAMC Mid West Yorkshire Centre and thank them personally for the fantastic fundraising they’ve undergone! A huge thank you to Deborah, Catherine, Karen, Janet, Keith and everyone in the club for coming to together to support CHSF!” — Eve, Community & Events Fundraiser
A big thank you to members of the Mid West Yorkshire Caravan and Motorhome Club for choosing CHSF as your Charity of the Year for 2022.
The amazing £2,528 you raised will go such a long way in supporting our world-class Leeds Congenital Heart Unit, it’s heart patients and their families.
It is only with support from people like you that CHSF can keep being there for heart heroes like Catherine in the future. Thank you.

LATEST NEWS
Heart warrior Molly Hayes, 14, from Stocksbridge in South Yorkshire, has ended her fundraising year with a bang by being the first woman to finish the Big Leeds Santa Dash 2022 in an impressive 22 minutes and 44 seconds – a personal best!
This incredible achievement is just the latest in a long series of runs for this heart hero. Molly has vowed to run the length of Route 66 (2,280 miles) in her latest challenge to raise money for CHSF.
This is even more amazing when just three years prior, Molly’s parents were told their daughter had a 10% chance of surviving heart surgery.
Complications began when a then when nine-year-old Molly suffered a stroke in February 2018.
This resulted in the right side of her body being paralysed. For over a year she took regular trips to Sheffield Children’s Hospital where doctors unsuccessfully tried to work out what had happened.
In May 2019, Molly was recommended to see a doctor in Leeds. It was then she was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Wolff-Parkinson-White is a condition that causes the heart to beat abnormally fast. At one point Molly’s heart reached 256bpm and after multiple attempts to lower it, doctors had no choice but to stop her heart completely.
Molly had ablation surgery at the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit in November 2019 and during the four-and-a-half hour operation Dr Dominic Hares found that she also had complications with her heart valves. Molly said that afterward she was told that if the surgery had not been performed, she wouldn’t have made it past Christmas.
When asked what inspired her to start running, Molly said that she “gained a lot of weight” during her recuperation – especially during the Covid lockdowns in 2020.
“In the few years after being prescribed beater-blockers that slowed my metabolism, I went from being 8st 8.8lbs, to over 13st. I used food as an escape from my trauma and this allowed me to gain more and more weight.”
“In October 2020, I went on a run for the first time. Honestly, I am unsure what compelled me to go. It was raining, I owned no running clothes or shoes, and I had no desire to do any physical exercise – but I still did it.
I ran 0.8 miles and was practically crying at the end, but the next week I went out and did it again.”
“That girl that was lying in bed would be so proud of me!”
“I logged all my runs from that point onwards onto Strava, and the furthest I ever went was a mile. A ten-minute mile. My dad ran with me, and when he couldn’t, my auntie or Grandad did.”
“I did the same route every day for over a year. Not going any further, or any faster – but always indulging in a large Costa Cooler at the end of every run!”
Molly said that it was in December 2021 that her mum encouraged her to exercise with her in their home gym, where she set herself the challenge of doing 3km. She said:
“I had to walk-run it but at that point I just wanted to do it. So, every month I set a goal to run an extra kilometre. Then in July my dad took me out to a 5km and I loved it!”
Molly’s dad, Richard, inspired her to get into running and is now her coach!
“Later that month I did a park run in 29 minutes and I just kept wanting to get better and better. In August I ran my first 10km and then a week later I did York 10km in 54 minutes!”
The York 10km was Molly’s first race after so much hard work and training. She chose to run it to raise money for CHSF and hit her first fundraising target soon after.
When talking about her latest accomplishment, the Leeds Santa Dash, Molly said:
“Since then, running’s become more like an addiction. At first, I just wanted to lose weight but now I just run because it’s my life. Santa Dash was the first race I’ve ever won, and I got a 5km PB so I’m really proud of myself.”
“It’s really special because three years ago today I was in a wheelchair recovering from heart surgery.”
“At one point I thought there was no point being alive anymore. It’s really hard for a kid to say that but I was just 10 years old sitting in a hospital bed being like ‘what’s the point?’. So, to do races like this means so much because you’re winning stuff and I think ‘That girl that was lying in bed would be so proud of me’.
“I don’t do it for myself now. I do it for the Molly that was really poorly, and was wondering whether she was going to live through the night.”
Molly, who aspires to be an officer and fast-jet pilot in the Royal Air Force, has lots of other runs and races planned to continue her fundraising for Children’s Heart Surgery Fund.
Molly initially set a target of £256 (to match the bpm of her heart when she was first diagnosed) and has already completely smashed that, raising an amazing £1,133 so far!
We are so incredibly proud of what Molly has achieved and so grateful for all her fundraising efforts in aid of CHSF. Thank you Molly, you are a true inspiration to so many!

written by Sian’s sister, Rachael
My son Samuel was born on 30th October 2014 in our local hospital. It was clear straight away there were complications, but no one was sure what they were.
Following various tests, he was transported later that day to the cardiac ward at Leed’s Children’s Hospital. Here he was diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries and a coarctation. He was supported in PICU for two weeks until he was ready for heart surgery.
The team at the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit provided Samuel, and us, with incredible support through this stay in hospital. His life saving surgery was long and complex, performed by Mr Jaber and his team.
Sian, with her nephew Samuel
What an incredible job they did! Following four weeks in the care of the staff on the cardiac ward, Samuel came home. He continued with regular checks for the first year and the support team were always there on the end of the phone. He now sees a consultant every two years for routine check-ups.
Thanks to everyone involved, Samuel thoroughly enjoys a very active and incredibly happy, healthy life and we will all be eternally grateful for the expert care and attention that he received during a very challenging time.
My sister Sian was an amazing doctor and dedicated Aunty. Her professional career was committed to working and improving the lives of children.
For all of these reasons we chose Children’s Heart Surgery Fund to be nominated as the charity for donations to be made in her memory. We are very grateful for the generosity of her family, friends and colleagues and hope that the funds raised will continue to make a difference for other children that benefit from the work of CHSF, just like Samuel did.
A wonderful £1,173 raised for our heart unit, patients and families in memory of Sian Firth.
Thank you so much to all of Sian’s family, friends and colleagues for thinking of Children’s Heart Surgery Fund at such a difficult time.
We are so very grateful for your generous donation in support of our work supporting hearts for life.
We can only do what we do because of people like you. Thank you.

Help us raise £5000 this Christmas to ensure every baby and child who has open heart surgery at Leeds next year receives a precious gift from CHSF – a Katie Bear teddy!
On average around 500 babies and children have open heart surgery at Leeds every year.
Each one of these heart warriors will receive a precious gift from Children’s Heart Surgery Fund – a Katie Bear teddy!
Each teddy costs the charity £10, so we need to raise a total of £5,000 this Christmas to ensure next year’s young patients are given this special keepsake.
Our Give A Bear Hug campaign will put smiles on future faces and offer cuddles for life.
Your child, or someone you know, may have a Katie Bear they treasure. Katie has symbolised bravery and resilience for hundreds of young patients with CHD every year since CHSF began in 1988 – and you and your network can help us to reach our target.

Heart dad Gareth and a group of (very!) good mates raised money for CHSF by climbing the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales in less than 24 hours!
This team of terrific trekkers scaled the dizzying heights of Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike all in the same day. They did it to say thank you for the wonderful treatment Gareth’s daughter Mabel received at Leeds.
We’ll let Gareth tell you all about the challenge!
So, three peaks in 24 hours…sounds straightforward, right? Well, I can now officially tell you this was the toughest, most brutal challenge I have ever done! The ascents themselves are a constant lung-busting, leg-burning pain fest. Then the descents became just as painful, if not more, and was where my cramp would set in.
With this challenge, there really is no easy part and then throw in the sleep deprivation! I was looking up Snowdon on the Sunday morning, thinking this really isn’t going to be possible. My legs were like two lead weights with absolutely zero energy left in them.
But, after 23 hours and 13 minutes, we arrived back to the van. We had not only completed it but smashed it well within 24 hours!! Definitely seven happy and tired men!
We also were very, very lucky with the weather. We had a fantastic clear day at the summit of Ben Nevis, which only happens around 50 times a year. We walked Scafell Pike in full moonlight with clear skies and climbed Snowdon on a lovely sunny Sunday morning.
This really was one hell of a challenge, but one we will all remember forever and ever.
MABEL
“Mabel was diagnosed with congenital heart disease after she was born and was blue-lighted straight to Leeds Children’s Hospital.”
“At three days old, Mabel underwent a balloon procedure to try and increase the workings of her Aortic Valve. At first they thought this was a success and sent us home but, unfortunately, three weeks later we found ourselves back at Leeds. This time Mabel had to undergo a massive open heart surgery and was in theatre for 13 hours.”
“This is when we realised without the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit, and the massive support they get from the charity Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF), we wouldn’t be where we are today with Mabel!”
I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that has donated. I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the support.
Your money will really help families like us in the unfortunate position with their babies at birth, and so much more. Thank you.
I also wanted to thank my amazing wife for your support and for looking after the kids while I’ve been away. And your fantastic baking.
That flapjack definitely got me up those mountains!
Gareth and Jess with twin girls Meredith and Mabel
A huge thanks to our team. Without the support, laughs and banter, this wouldn’t have been possible, so thank you, everyone! Now then, guys, what’s the next challenge going to be??
BEN NEVIS 1344m
SNOWDON 1085m
SCAFELL PIKE 978m
THANK YOU so much to Gareth, Nick, Chris, Jack Jim and Stu for taking on this truly tough fundraising challenge for CHSF!

Over £4,000 raised including gift aid that will go straight to heart warriors and families being treated in our heart unit. You are all incredible. Thank you.
