Story

As a long standing Vice President and Business Ambassador for this amazing charity,  I see first hand the amazing work that the teams do to support children and their families, something I am very proud to play a part in. All I ask that you read the below and support however you can...why not donate to have me walk across the burning hot sand of the Sahara Desert by day and sleep in a tent in freezing temperatures dropping below zero at night .

When the unimaginable happens, Acorns Children's Hospice is with you every step of the way. Providing care for children with life limiting and life threatening conditions and support for their families from hospices in Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester. It costs £27,000 every day to run Acorns services providing specialist care for children and support for their families. The charity relies heavily on donations to fund the majority of its activities. £3 could provide a meal for a child staying at a hospice, £10 could fund art supplies for a session of specialist craft play , £20 could fund the equipment Acorns nurses need to provide care in the family home. Any amount you can give will help to make a difference in the lives of the local children and families supported by Acorns.
