Raising money for

COSMIC (Children Of St Mary's Intensive Care)

Charity Registration No. 1043697

COSMIC was founded in 1994 to raise money for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London, which now treats around 500 desperately sick children every year. COSMIC raises money through a number of events each year, and is heavily supported by families whose lives have been touched by the PICU. All funds are used to provide life saving equipment, to provide support and accommodation to parents and to fund training, education and an internationally significant research programme at Imperial College London looking at the causes, effects and treatment of childhood diseases.

My story

Last year, our youngest son, Ollie, was seriously ill in hospital with infected chicken pox. It was a horrendous time for us and one which still haunts us now. Thankfully Ollie got better.

Our friends' little daughter Grace (a few months older than Ollie) was diagnosed with severe chicken pox on the same day as Ollie.

Tragically Grace died on 24 April 2007 aged 13 months having been cared for in her last few weeks at the Paediatric unit of St Mary's hospital, Paddington.

In June, I will be raising money for the unit through its charity, COSMIC, by taking part in the Three Peaks Challenge, which involves climbing Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis all within 24 hours. I will be climbing with colleagues from Vodafone who are raising money for several other charities.

The money I raise will go towards much needed equipment at the unit.
