Calling all 11–17-year-olds whose lives have been affected by heart conditions including siblings: you are invited to join ECHO for an exhilarating experience this half term which takes you on an expedition over the roof of The O2 via a 380m fabric walkway – 52m above ground level!
This will be a great opportunity for you to fundraise! Whilst this is not mandatory, we’re suggesting a goal of £40, to mark our 40th Anniversary Year. All money raised will go directly to ECHO to help provide activities, support, and resources for children and young people with heart conditions and their families.
For easier fundraising, you can set up a FREE JustGiving or Facebook Fundraising page (select ‘ECHO – Evelina Children’s Heart Organisation’) and ask friends and family to donate!
