Virgin London Marathon 2016 · 24 April 2016 ·

It's bewildering and unsettling for anyone going into hospital but especially for children and that is why we are a fundraising hospital. We raise funds to enhance the experience of our patients by providing state of the art medical equipment and facilities and creating a child-friendly environment.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our little Nephew Fergus is currently battling a rare and aggressive form of brain tumour. He is being wonderfully cared for by the dedicated staff at Birmingham Children's Hospital.

The bravery of Fergus and his Mum (Lou) and Dad (Barney) continues to amaze us. It is now over three months since he first fell ill. Numerous scans, operations and horrible chemotherapy treatments have followed yet they are all still fighting strong, with the rest of the family closely behind them.

We wanted to acknowledge this bravery and show our support for BCH by running the London Marathon (me) and Hereford Half Marathon (Chantal) for Fergus. Hopefully Barney will be able to join me for the Marathon too. We've seen first hand the positive impact that fundraising like this can have at BCH, and would love to think that we could further contribute to this on behalf of Fergus.

Any donations, or words of comfort for the family will be gratefully received. Or if you'd like to set yourself a challenge and raise money for Fergus then you'd be very welcome to join our 'raising for Fergus' Team.

Many thanks for reading this,

Sam, Chantal (& Barney) x
