We held a celebration of life for William on the 19th June 2014; the church was packed with family and friends including many of the nurses that looked after and cared for William whilst in GOSH.

Now as parents this is something that you should never have to do.

So I will not only be walking up and down the three peaks and cycling between each mountain for William, but also for Aimi.
This event gives me a chance to raise funds that the hospital needs to research further to help some of the children that are at the hospital still. Renal care is a long-term issue.” The smallest donation will help the Brighter Future Fund. You can donate by visiting justgiving.com/fundraising/Justin-Crook1.
