A local family has made a generous donation to Tayside Children’s Hospital after their seven-year-old son, Parker Lindsay, made a remarkable recovery from congenital heart disease.
Inspired by Parker’s resilience, his mum Verity and stepdad Derek raised an outstanding £7,000 through the Edinburgh Tough Mudder and a Pilates Wellness Event held at V&A Dundee. As a result, the Paediatric Cardiology Team and Ward 29 at Ninewells have received a brand-new ECG machine, along with toys and toothbrushes to support children during their hospital stay.
The ECG machine will benefit patients across paediatric clinics, wards and specialist care areas, supporting vital heart monitoring for children throughout Tayside.
The family would also like to extend sincere thanks to the event sponsors whose generosity made the V&A Dundee wellness event possible - Ambleside Plumbing and Heating, Amari Pilates Retreats, It’s Calm & Chaos, PWR Fitness Studio, A&J Autos, and Hilltown Electrical.
