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

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I have decided to do a Trek along the Great Wall of China and brave my fears:

1) heights

2) all kinds of creepy crawlies
3) hotels lower than 4*

I also wanted to do something to honour my son Thomas who passed away 10 years ago in December at St Marys PICU. The staff at the unit in St Mary's are absolutely incredible and I would love to do something to help them continue their amazing work.

Please note I am meeting the costs of this trip myself so all donations will go directly to the charity.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: COSMIC (Children Of St Mary's Intensive Care) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
