Mum says thanks to life-saving hospital

A SCUNTHORPE mum is raising cash for the hospital which saved her baby son's life.

Tristan Montaque was born with a congenital heart defect in June 2007 and has already been through open heart surgery several times.

Mum Kerry Card (27) wants to help the staff who gave her so much help while he was sick with a sponsored walk.

About 30 people will stroll from Scunthorpe High Street to Ashby High Street in aid of Echo, which supports Evelina Children's Hospital in London.

Ms Card said: "The staff were fantastic so we are raising money for them.

Tristan will have an MRI scan later this year before he is scheduled for the third stage of the Norwood procedure.
