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

Alannah was born last August amid the fanfare of the Olympic opening ceremony. The day was filled with the intense joy and excitement you'd expect with a loved baby coming into the world.

Eight days later our lives were shattered when Alannah had the first of a series of cardiac arrests. We entered a period we never thought we'd come out of. Alannah is now a healthy, 10 month old .. and is the happiest baby we've ever seen. Those who know us know the story, and the subject matter of this short note is not to play on emotion, but to do something practical.

COSMIC is the charity that centralises fund raising for equipment and research at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at St. Mary's hospital*. We owe them more than money could ever pay for - but money is what is needed now.

We're running the London Asics 10K this Summer. Please sponsor us to help raise money for COSMIC. Please give whatever you can.

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.
