Time Saves Lives Appeal
When our daughter Danielle was struck by a car she received massive head injuries, suffering a major
bleed on the brain and losing a lot of oxygen very quickly. In short, she was dying. Danielle was transferred
to Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital by helicopter but had to land in the park across the road.
A helipad within the hospital site would have got her there quicker and given her a greater
chance of survival. Despite landing in the park, we were lucky and Danielle did survive. Although it’s too
early to tell for sure, we are hopeful she will make a full recovery, but we are so very aware how different our
story could have been.
The less time it takes to transfer a child, the more chance there is of saving them. Sarah, Danielle’s mum

In an emergency, fast helicopter
transferral can mean the difference
between life and death. Support our

make that difference.
