Castle Coomb...

by The Squirrell 22. July 2009 20:47

As part of my ongoing fund raising for QEH I had a STUPID

but GREAT idea! (A "Typical Matt" idea...!..)

 

 

 

I thought this will be GREAT fun to.. 

I entered my car into a car race, and sold HEART SHAPED stickers to go

on it! Each heart was £100, and you could have whatever you wanted

printed onto it!! 

 

Businesses bought adverts, and MOST just put a message of love, or rememberance

to some one dear.... (Quite emotional getting them printed, as some were in memory

of people who are not with us any more etc.)

 

When I told my parents and Jane they thought I was MAD...

(As did my Doctor!) But after calming down, Dad asked if he

could dust off his overalls and do a race in it to?

 

We raised LOADS for QEH, and the heart performed well,

(As did my car... But I think she will need new tyres and brakes

after this?!)

About Matt.

My name's Matt. I was born with a congenital heart defect which hampered me in my youth, and sadly became a terminal conditon recently, and beyond the (amazing) care of the BRI-Bristol Heart team.

In 2008, my condition deteriorated, to a point I was happy to see Xmas 2008. I had prepared to die.

Then in January 2009, a late night phone call from QEH-Hospital Birmingham changed my world, when they offered me a heart transplant, if I could get there pronto!!

6 months on, after a rocky start, I am still alive, thanks to them!

Read on to see how my new life is taking shape, and my adventures to date!....

 

Matt.
