My name is Kieran Hansen and I am raising funds for the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital which is where my beautiful wife Melissa Ryan, mother to Tahlia and Charli and awesome friend to many is currently being cared for.
On Monday 29th March, whilst Mel was at home she suffered from a multiple bleeds on her brain from an aneurysm. In agonising pain, Mel was quick thinking and called the ambulance. Fortunately she was rushed to Prince Alfred Hospital which is very close to our house and has one of the best neuro teams in the country.
Whilst the last 9 days have been harrowing and traumatic for everyone close to Mel. The level of expertise, dedication, care and love I have witnessed whilst in the Neuro ICU at RPA is beyond belief and absolutely incredible.
From the super human neurosurgeons to the specialised neuro ICU nurses who have all shown incredible dedication, empathy and love to Mel and family. Everyday I leave ICU with a huge amount of hope in my heart and massive amount of love and respect for all the team at RPA.
I am overwhelmed and grateful for the love and support we have received and everyone has asked me how they can help.
The best way that I can think that people can help Mel and others in her situation is to support the incredible team at RPA by helping to ensuring that they have all the equipment they need to be able to do the best job they can. Which in the end will hopefully and will probably mean more lives saved in the Neuro ICU.
Whether or not you are in a position to contribute, thank you for taking the time to read the story above. No contribution is too small and all funds raised will be donated to the RPA Neurosurgery Department and the Intensive Care Unit Training and Education.
If you would prefer you can donate directly to the hospital which is tax deductible.
