Pride of Guernsey: Arun Dowington and Dana Walden
Arun DOWINGTON and Dana Walden have been nominated for the Parent/s of the Year award, sponsored by Ray & Scott.
‘Dana and Arun have a 19-month-old son who was born with severe haemophilia and they have had to make a lot of personal sacrifices to provide constant care for him,’ said nominator Angela Walden.
‘He has had regular visits to hospital and doctors here and in Southampton have had to get him treatment for bleeds.
‘They fought hard to provide a home during lockdown and work hard to give Jasper the best care as he needs supervision 24 hours a day.
‘I think they deserve to know what a brilliant job they are doing and how lucky Jasper is to have them as parents.
‘It’s extremely impressive and they should be extremely proud of how strong they have been for their family, especially through the pandemic.
‘They have worked excellently as a team together and Jasper is lucky to have the pair as his parents.’
