Edward Merricks is raising money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity
“Edward Merricks's fundraising”

on 23 March 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
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.
