Great Eastern Run · 9 October 2011

We’re A Spoonful Of Sugar. We help seriously ill children in hospital. We do this by giving them the best medicine they can get. A laugh. Each week, we send a professional entertainer or artist into the wards to give the children a healing dose of fun. We try our best to give them something to look forward to - like arranging a post-treatment VIP trip to Hamleys. In all this, our aim is to help the children forget where they are, forget the suffering and forget the monotony of hospitalisation. If we can achieve any of that, even for a second, it’s all worth it. We already help the kids in the Carousel Ward of UCH in London. Now we need your help to get to the hundreds of children in 21 similar wards nationwide. Every penny you can spare will go directly into bringing some much-needed fun and laughter to all of them.

Story

<p>Incredible though it may sound and against all odds I'm taking part (hah!) in the Great Eastern Run on 09/10/2011 to raise money for A Spoonful of Sugar (http://www.justgiving.com/aspoonfulofsugar) and I'd really appreciate your support. &nbsp;<br><br>Spoonful is the brainchild of a close friend and doesn't need more than a few hundred pounds to run each year, so anything you can offer would be very gratefully received.<br><br>After all the blisters I've gained I do hope you'll join me in supporting A Spoonful of Sugar.</p>
