#FundraisingFriday – Leon
We sent him a certificate and his mum got in touch: "He was thrilled and took it to show his teacher and head teacher. He ended up with his own little piece in the school's newsletter. He has even asked if he can take it to hospital with him to show his surgeon when he has his gum notch repaired!" She also sent us a fab picture of Leon with his certificate!

Isaac’s Story
Isaac arrived on 19th October 2008, a week late, but we seemed to have a healthy first child. Everything was new to us; breastfeeding, sleeping (or lack of), settling him. We left hospital assuming everything was fine. I wanted to feed him myself, however when we got home the problems started.
