My story

I'm no John Bishop, can't run for toffee, am a rubbish swimmer and find cycling a bit sweaty. I am however prepared to use the power of gravity to drop to the gound from a high building to raise money for the fantastic Silver Star baby unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital. I'm Patron of the unit, all 3 of my kids were born there, and I've seen first hand the amazing work it does saving the lives of mums and babies every day.

The Silver Star unit was set up 35 years ago to provide specialist care for mothers and babies who have complications in their pregnancies. Vitally, the unit also leads the way in goundbreaking research into the causes and treatment of serious medical conditions in pregnancy, and specifically the commonest medical condition - pre-eclampsia. As a result, though the unit is based in Oxford, it has a profound national and international impact. Specialist care and research costs money, and though this is a top class NHS unit, it constantly needs financial support from outside.

Your donation to the Silver Star Society, the unit's fundraising arm, will help support on-going research in this important area of medicine. For further details on the research projects please visit http://www.oxfordbrc.org/research/women-and-paediatrics/osprea/.

Seems inappropriate to quote Tucker on a charity page but I'm sure his advice would include using Fat Pat as a safety bag. Good Luck!
