Why Wear It Red Matters: 

By participating, you're not just wearing red – you're making a meaningful impact. Funds raised support Hearts Together to provide crucial home from home accommodation and wrap-around support services for patients, caregivers, and relatives when supporting a loved one or receiving medical treatment themselves. Together, we can create a supportive network for those navigating what can be the most challenging time of their lives

Simon & Olivia's Story

For families like Simon’s, that support can make an immeasurable difference. In 2019, Simon and his wife were advised to stay close to Derriford Hospital while their daughter Olivia, suddenly and critically ill, lay in a coma. Hearts Together provided them with a safe, welcoming place to stay nearby at a time of enormous uncertainty, allowing them to remain close without the added stress of being far from the family home in Falmouth.

 

After emergency treatment at Derriford and further care in London, Olivia made a full recovery and is now a qualified paediatric nurse. Inspired by the care their family received, Simon went on to become an anonymous living organ donor and, as a family, they have raised funds for health charities as a way of giving back. Their story reflects the heart of Wear It Red Week - a community coming together to ensure no family has to face medical treatment or emergency care alone.

Watch their story here

I went from being able to walk myself into A&E on the Thursday, to being in intensive care on the Saturday, and my family urgently needing somewhere to stay. The last thing you want to be thinking about is where am I going to sleep tonight? How much is it going to cost? So to know that was all taken care of - that just meant a lot for our family.

You never know when you're going to be in that position - we never in a million years thought that would be us.

We are very grateful to Simon and Olivia for allowing us to share their experience. Their story reflects the purpose of Hearts Together - to provide practical support and a place of respite for people going through difficult and often uncertain times.
