We recently met up with Harry and his son Paul, an adult patient who had surgery seven years ago, to thank them for their incredible support of the CHSF Lottery!
Harry said:
“I see the lottery as a way of giving back to the charity who have supported both Paul and my other family members. My niece’s granddaughter is currently awaiting her next surgery.”
“I enjoy signing up my family and friends and those who have supported me over the years. As well as it helping CHSF, it gives them all a chance to take home the weekly prize.”
For just £1 a week, Children’s Heart Surgery Fund’s lottery gives supporters the chance of winning £100 every single week!
Because our lottery is much smaller than most, there are more chances of being the lucky winner. Bonus! If you sign up for a whole year you will get two weeks free!
Sign up to take part in our lottery today – you could even split the cost and set up a syndicate at work or with friends and family!
