It is easy to take our health for granted, but when a child’s life is at risk you realise just how precious health is.
If it is your child whose life is in danger, you do everything humanly possible to save them.
Speaking from personal experience, I will be forever grateful to everyone at Great Ormond Street Hospital for saving the life of my son George. So it is my pleasure to be Patron of the Tick Tock Club.
The Tick Tock Club has been established to help Great Ormond Street Hospital make significant progress in the treatment of heart and lung disease.
We intend to achieve this by raising substantial funds to construct a world-class Heart and Lung Centre which will provide highly specialised care for seriously ill children and, equally importantly, help us to discover how to prevent heart disease from developing in the first place.
The hospital’s cardio-respiratory team has the proven skills and expertise to make unprecedented advances in our understanding of heart disease. The Tick Tock Club will do its absolute best to support their aspirations so I hope you will join me in making the Tick Tock Club a resounding success.
