Mum's triathlon challenge for Hospitals that saved son's life

Claire with son Christian.

A mum of 3 is taking part in the Southport Triathlon to raise funds for 2 Hospitals that saved her son's life. Claire Taylor, 46, will compete in the event on 22 May. 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."
