The Bubble Foundation, as you know is very close to my heart as I would not be here with out its great work and the funds it raises for life saving research into Primary Immune Deficiency, for The Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle.

Up until the age of 15 I lived my life with a very rare blood disease called CGD which meant any small infection, from the common cold could have had serious consequences. At 15 the time came to make a decision to go ahead with a Bone Marrow Transplant which came with its own set of risks and uncertainty however what the alternative was pretty grim, as it would be very likely I would contract an infection my ever weakening immune system could not fight off.

This is the reason I have decided to do something to help The Bubble Foundation raise the vital money it needs to continue to help babies and children all over the country each year.
