A great big thank you from Tiny Tickers this Christmas

It’s been a very busy and successful year for Tiny Tickers, and I’d like to say a huge thank you to all our amazing supporters.

 

Because of you, during 2015 we have trained more sonographers; spread more awareness; supported more families; and had a big impact lobbying for service improvements.

It was great meeting some of our amazing fundraisers – here’s Natasha, one of our team of runners in the British 10k London race.

We couldn’t have done that without you – our wonderful supporters – and I can’t thank you enough. You’ve really shown what big hearts you have with incredible fundraising events and challenges taking place across the UK – and far beyond.

From the South West to Scotland; from Northern Ireland to London – fundraisers have been doing everything from running races to baking cakes; from arranging balls to jumping out of planes. Tiny Tickers even made it to Everest basecamp this year thanks to one intrepid supporter.

I’ve been lucky enough to get along to few fundraising events. Whether it was meeting runners at the Great North Run, or sampling cakes at a bake sale in York, one thing shone through – just how dedicated our supporters are.

You have a passion for helping babies with serious heart conditions. You have a desire to improve things. You want to help.

We share your passion – it’s why we exist – and this year we’ve been able to help more than ever:

And these are only the start of our ambitions – you can also read about our plans for 2016, which is shaping up to be the busiest and most exciting year in our history:

The end of one year is, of course, a time for reflection, and we think also of those who have lost little ones, and of those who are set to fight big battles in 2016. CHD is cruel, and our hearts go out to all those who have suffered loss. Your courage fuels our determination to make a difference.

So, as we come towards the end of 2015, I wish you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Health and happiness,

Jon Arnold
