BACKGROUND TO THE EVENT:
At 9 weeks of age, Ilkley boy Amos Harker underwent a 7-hour emergency operation to save his life due to a liver condition called Biliary Atresia. This disease is present from birth and its cause is unknown. Now a year old, thanks to the work of Ward 12 at Leeds General Infirmary, Amos has made a fantastic recovery and continues to inspire everyone he meets with his strength and happiness. Unfortunately there is a chance Amos will be one of the many babies who despite the initial surgery
will require a full liver transplant in the next few years of life.

In thanks to Ward 12, and in support of the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation who research diseases including biliary atresia, Amos’ family and friends created the Fundraiser in aid of the two organisations.
