Help A Jack – Help Morriston Hospital<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Why not visit our sponsors lounge<\/a><\/p>\n

Hi all,<\/p>\n

My name is Ryan Orton and I’m a season ticket holder for the Swans. I post on the message board under the username Bonjour1.<\/p>\n

As some of you know I am running the Paris marathon on April 15th<\/sup> to try to raise money for the Cardiac High Dependency and Intensive Care Units at Morriston Hospital.<\/p>\n

Should anyone from Swansea and the surrounding areas suffer with heart problems, it’ll be the staff at these wards that will care for them.<\/p>\n

My dad was treated at these wards in 1999. Sadly (for me at least!!) he passed away but the care and compassion that he and my family were shown was overwhelming. <\/p>\n

There are 2 reasons for this project:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. For me to show my gratitude to the staff and to “give something back.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. To enable any future patients and families (which could be any of us) to benefit from the same outstanding level of treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      All donations will help, no matter what amount. Unfortunately, as this is not a recognised charity, I am unable to set up a website for people to donate. Therefore, should you wish to support me there are 3 options for donations.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. A cheque made payable to<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Cardiac ITU Endowment Fund<\/p>\n

        c\/o Ryan Orton<\/p>\n

        8 Aldergove Close<\/p>\n

        Port Talbot<\/p>\n

        SA12 8EY<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Paypal online at ryan-orton@ntlworld.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Cash – I can meet anyone before any Swans game or any other time for that matter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Obviously, with the last 2 methods there is an awful lot of trust involved, however I would hope that the 30+ people that I got tickets for to the LDV cup final will vouch that I can be trusted. I also have a letter from the Cardiac Unit verifying my attempt. <\/p>\n

            You can contact me at ryan-orton@ntlworld.com or by phone on 07970 036581 if you wish to discuss anything. <\/p>\n

            Thank you in advance for any support or donations. It really is appreciated. <\/p>\n

            Ryan <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
