Mum's triathlon challenge for Hospitals that
saved son's life
A mum of 3 is taking part in the
Southport Triathlon to raise funds for two hospitals that saved her son's life.
Claire Taylor, 46, will compete in the event on 22 May 2016. This is 6 years on
from the very day medics came to the rescue of 2 year old Christian. Christian
was a perfectly healthy boy who collapsed one Sunday morning following a viral
infection. Claire said:- "1 day we were enjoying a lovely sunny morning as
a family, the next moment we were watching medical teams fighting to save our
son's life." Christian was taken to Ormskirk hospital A&E and his
seizure lasted an hour. He was put on full life support. Claire, who is
originally from St Helens and is now living in Hesketh Bank, said:- "We
were terrified and in total shock. The staff at Ormskirk Hospital A&E were
absolutely amazing. Christian was then transferred to Alder Hey where he
remained for 5 days." Christian made a full recovery and is now a
very healthy and active 8 year old. Mum Claire now wants to raise funds
for Ormskirk hospital and Mac House at Alder Hey where her and husband Wayne
stayed while their son was treated. On 22 May 2016 she and pals Gabriela
Cieplińska and Clare Bamber will compete in the triathlon. They will do the
"sprint" version which includes 750m swim, 20k on bike and 5k run.
Claire added:- "I want to say thank you to the Hospitals that saved our
son's life and then supported us through that very difficult week."
