Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

A few months ago, mine and Rachael's lives were turned upside down.  Cutting a long story short, our beautiful angel daughter Sophia contracted Staphylococcus Aureus which resulted in her getting Toxic Shock Syndrome.  She was rushed to hospital and within the hour she was fighting for her life in intensive care.

During the next 24 hours there were times we thought we were going to lose our angel, but the doctors in the intensive care unit worked tirelessly with her and thankfully our little girl pulled through.

The hospital saved her life, and as such I want to raise money for them.

I have arrange a charity poker event on the 12th July 2014 at the Dusk Till Dawn Club in Nottingham, but a lot of people that do not play poker said they would like to donate which is why I have created this page.

To make you donation a little more exciting I am doing it as a raffle.

For every £5 donation you make, you will get one ticket that will go in to a hat and be drawn Saturday 12th July live at the poker event.  Two lucky winners will get what is likely to be a very good Digital Camera. (exact make to be confirmed).

Please donate generously, your money will go straight to the hospital and you have a chance of winning an awesome prize.

Many Thanks for your support.

About the charity

It's bewildering and unsettling for anyone going into hospital but especially for children and that is why we are a fundraising hospital.
