Hi, my name is Sharon and I have a son
called Samuel who has been on TPN since
his birth in 1998; he also has a gastrostomy
and an ileostomy. My husband’s name
is Marty, and I also have a son called Martin,
born in 1993. We live in Scotland.
I am so eager to spread the word about PINNT
and let families know they are not alone.
To make this happen will take more than
just my work – it will involve every
family that has a child on artificial feeding
sharing their stories and support.

Hi, I’m Sarah and I have a son called
Daniel, who has had a jejunostomy since he was
2 months old. Before this he had a gastrostomy
from his birth in 1996. I also have 2 other children,
Zoë, born in 1994 and Jamie born in 2000.
We live in Greenhithe, Kent. I am also the Membership
Secretary for PINNT and I feel I would like to
give back to PINNT that support I had and still
have with Daniel on artificial feeding. |

Hi, I’m Lia from Tadley in Hampshire. I occasionally write articles for Online magazine and also work very closely with ‘Drippy Bear’ to produce the Kids’ Zone supplements for Half-PINNT. My eight year old son, Lucas, was born with Gastroschisis, and has been TPN-fed since birth, as well as the occasional gastrostomy and button! It’s been a long and rocky road, and PINNT has been a brilliant resource and reassurance, so I’m more than happy to give a bit back by helping out with Half-PINNT. So get your kids writing in – it helps them to know they are not alone!
