The Good Life Donate When I heard about Haven House Children's Hospice from my daughter, I was left touched, moved and inspired and had to go and see what they were all about and what I could do to help. I was amazed at what they do from caring on a day-to-day basis, to counselling and supporting a family during the difficult times and after losing a loved one. It's not just for those immediately impacted, but for the whole family, friends and circle around them. And the support extends for years after a loss.I lost my Godson Neo about 29 years ago at the age of four from a rare heart condition, so I know what it’s like to go through heartache. Back then there was no support like Haven House. I was a young teenager and I cried for about a month, as my last words to him were a promise that he would be okay and that I would be waiting for him whilst he had some tests carried out at the hospital.He reluctantly went in, but he never came back. Those were my last words and I felt I had let him down. I had broken my promise to my amazing Godson and I have carried this all my life.I had no-one to turn to for the answers I was seeking, and as a young teenager I felt really alone at a time when I desperately needed support. I still think about Neo every day.Haven House does just that - it supports families before, during and after the most circumstances imaginable, providing a real haven of love and support to families.Please help me to support Haven House. I've decided to raise £5,000 and to reach this target, I've set myself a challenge of losing weight by getting fit. So in July 2018 I will be cycling 300 miles in the London to Paris Bike Ride!Please join me in showing your support by sponsoring me here on my Haven House appeal page.Many thanks - John Joannou John Joannou Manage Cookie Preferences
