Thanks for taking the time to visit the S7 Ted's Trophy JustGiving page.

Ted Macdonald (my Godson and son to proud parents Claire and Dean) is an amazing little boy with a truly inspirational story to tell....

Ted was born via an emergency caesarean, after his mum Claire had a placental abruption, causing him to be starved of oxygen and arriving with a 0 on the Apgar scale (The Apgar score is a simple assessment of how a baby is doing at birth, which helps determine whether your newborn is ready to meet the world without additional medical assistance

Ted spent 5 days on a cooling mat to keep his body temperature down in order to reduce his brain swelling and causing further brain damage. Before he was then closely cared for in intensive care. The work all the staff put in to nurse sick babies back to health is awe-inspiring.

Claire and Dean were overwhelmed with the care, and expertise the whole unit showed to help Ted fight his way back from a chance of him not surviving, or suffering long term brain damage to being the amazing little miracle that he is.

That is why we (Search Seven) are hosting a charity football match in honour of the excellent care and support that the Trevor Mann Baby Unit continue to give to families which go through similar experiences, and to raise some much needed money to help buy more life-saving equipment.

The event takes place on Tuesday 23rd May, kick off 19:00pm at the AMEX stadium (home to Brighton & Hove Albion). £5 entry with kids under 12 £2. There will be a half-time penalty shoot-out for mascots (mascots £10 each) and also a Raffle after full time with some top prizes!

We also have sponsorship opportunities available too, with ads in the match day programme going for £40 1/4 page and £70 half page full colour. Your ad can be in front of 500 spectators, as well as it being a worthwhile contribution to charity - please enquire if interested.

If you cannot attend the day, and would like to make a donation to this great cause, or would like to sponsor one of the players, then please do so via this page! We have also received confirmation that any donations made to this page will go 'directly' to TMBU ;-)

Thank you everyone!!
