Pioneering Sussex charity for children with a rare breathing condition calls for support
and live on Freeview channel 276
Children born with CCHS face a life-time on a ventilator to keep them alive with the added complication of needing constant monitoring by parents and carers every night. Most patients are also living with a tracheostomy which has a huge impact on their quality of life.
To change all this, the charity has a group of engineers and scientists in Cambridge working around the clock to build a prototype of the new Breathing Pacemaker which will transform the lives of children with this condition, giving them unimaginable independence and freedom.

“When Casper was born and struggled to breathe our world changed. His rare genetic condition was eventually diagnosed by specialist experts at Great Ormond Street Hospital where he underwent genetic testing. We are forever grateful for the medical support we receive but we want Casper and all children with CCHS to live without artificial life support. A cardiac pacemaker already exists and there is a wealth of technology that we are harnessing to make The Breathing Pacemaker a reality. We won’t rest until our mission is complete and we can help thousands of families around the world struggling with this devastating condition - and with your help we can,” explained James Oakley, Founder of Keep Me Breathing and dad to Casper.
Please join us at this fabulous event, learn more about our work from experts attending and importantly, please come and enjoy a truly magical evening.
