Mum's triathlon challenge for Hospitals that
saved son's life
A mum of 3 is taking part in the
Southport Triathlon to raise funds for 2 Hospitals that saved her son's life.
Claire Taylor, 46, will compete in the event on 22 May. This is 6 years on
from the very day medics came to the rescue of 2 year old Christian. Christian
was a perfectly healthy boy who collapsed one Sunday morning following a viral
infection. Claire said:- "1 day we were enjoying a lovely sunny morning as
a family, the next moment we were watching medical teams fighting to save our
son's life." Christian was taken to Ormskirk Hospital A&E and his
seizure lasted an hour. He was put on full life support. Claire, who is
originally from St Helens and is now living in Hesketh Bank, said:- "We
were terrified and in total shock. The staff at Ormskirk Hospital A&E were
absolutely amazing. Christian was then transferred to Alder Hey where he
remained for 5 days." Christian made a full recovery and is now a
very healthy and active 8 year old. Mum Claire now wants to raise funds
for Ormskirk Hospital and Mac House, at Alder Hey, where her and husband Wayne
stayed while their son was treated. On 22 May 2016 she and pals Gabriela Cieplińska and Clare Bamber will compete in the triathlon. They will do the
"sprint" version which includes 750m swim, 20k on bike and 5k run.
Claire added:- "I want to say thank you to the Hospitals that saved our
son's life and then supported us through that very difficult week."

A unique photo shoot with an
amphibious craft and a stunning model is on offer to local snappers
A monster of a photo shoot for local
photographers in the offering, as VAMPHire.com's Laura Kolbusz will be modelling
for a very unusual shoot at New Brighton Rock, on the Wirral. This will be a
group photography modelling shoot, that will take place on 26 June 2016, with
the amazing LARC XV Defiant II.
The amphibious rescue craft has had a few alterations since it was last
photographed on Southport Reporter, making it more impressive, if it wasn't
already. This unconventional aluminium hulled machine will now be joined by
another amazing large military truck. This is VAMPHire.com's 1st teamed group
shoot on this scale and we have to admit; it's looking like it will be quite a
hit.
This shoot is a specialized shoot, which has been gaining huge
interest from petrolheads, not only due to the craft, but also thanks to the
amazing Laura. She will have a good selection of things to be photographed in
and holding! Laura is a very experienced model, modelling a wide range of
clothing for designers including New Zealand's Lola Fang. So don't miss out such
an amazing opportunity!
If you still don't know what the LARC XV Defiant II is, it's a massive
amphibious cargo vehicle that was used by the United States Marine Corps (USMC)
in the Vietnam War. This is a shoot you can't do with anyone other than though
VAMPHire.com!
The shoot will start at 10:30am and will run until 5:00pm/5:30pm. This shoot is
designed to work with people on a tight budget, and is just £80.
This includes going out on the craft to 1 of
the 3 islands, at the mouth of the estuary of the River Dee, and if time allows,
a small trip down the river Mersey.
To see the machine in action visit this YouTube
link.
As this is not your normal shoot, the VAMPHire.com team will have a few more
surprises for the photographers who come on this adventure... This includes FX
gear... Basic camera tuition if required and more...
All photographers going can freely use and sell images they take on the shoot. A
modelling release will be offered, but whenever possible, Laura must be credited
as the model.
Deadline for applying to do the shoot is 22 June 2016.
