How did one little boy's story lead to a charity that has changed so many lives?
Join us for an inspiring evening with Jane Dean, founder trustee of A Breath for Life, as she shares the remarkable story behind the charity.
In 1996, Jane met three-year-old Andrew Waddington, whose life had been changed forever by a catastrophic brain injury. Determined to find a way to help him, Jane and local osteopath Charles Tisdall began a journey that led them to discover the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).
What started as a search to help one child grew into A Breath for Life, a charity that has brought hope and improved quality of life for children and adults living with a wide range of conditions.
Jane will tell the inspiring story of Andrew's journey, the creation of the charity, and how hyperbaric oxygen therapy continues to support people and their families today.
Whether you have a personal interest in health and wellbeing, enjoy hearing inspiring local stories, or simply want to learn more about this fascinating treatment, everyone is welcome.

We are delighted to be able to bring you an article by Jane Dean, the founder of A Breath For Life, the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Oxygen unit at Heysham. We have spent several hours at the unit recently in support of a good friend who is undergoing this therapy, and it has been an eye-opener for us to see how successful it is being for her, and a joy to meet Jane Dean, the founder, and the staff and volunteers who operate the unit. Jane will also be giving a talk at Burton Memorial Hall on Monday 2nd November at 7.30pm about the unit and their success stories, so we hope you will come along and listen to what she has to say.
