Dear <strong>VV</strong>,<br />
My name is Pam Jansons and my family and I have lived<br />
on Beacon Hill in Penn for the past 9 years. In 2013 our <strong>18</strong><br />
year old son Alexander died suddenly from myocarditis, a<br />
virus which attacks the heart. It is one of the leading<br />
causes of death in young people and could sadly affect<br />
anyone, often otherwise very healthy people. Much is still<br />
not understood about the condition, including how<br />
common it is and why a virus such as flu can trigger it.<br />
In 2013 Alexander's dad set up the Alexander Jansons<br />
Fund based in Beaconsfield, to help fund research at the<br />
Royal Brompton Hospital into myocarditis. Improving<br />
outcomes for people who contract the virus, raising<br />
awareness and helping to save lives. Very recently we<br />
have joined forces with Cardiomyopathy UK.<br />
We have successfully run many fun fundraising events,<br />
such as quiz, bingo and race nights, skydiving, football<br />
tournaments and many more. We are small enough that<br />
any amount of money raised will have an impact and<br />
every penny raised goes to our cause, we have no admin<br />
or salary costs at all.<br />
Our latest event is the first Alexander Jansons Fund<br />
Charity ball, to be held at the beautiful Bisham Abbey on<br />
19th May 20<strong>18</strong>. I still have a few tables left for this black<br />
tie event to include bubbly on arrival, a three course meal, magician, dancing to the wonderful Swing Collective<br />
band and a charity auction. If you would like more information or can help us in any way our website is www.<br />
alexanderjansonsfund.org and perhaps we might even see you at the Ball. Pam Jansons<br />
