Christopher Reed is raising money for The Children's Hospital Charity
Story
I am running the Sheffield 10k in order to raise money for The Children's Hospital Charity. Not only am I running it for charity...it will be as Batman....carrying a large 'The Children's Hospital Charity' Flag.
Having worked in hospitals on and off for the last 7 years I understand how daunting it is for adults and how they can suffer with 'white coat syndrome' or anxiety in that environment so take a second to imagine how that is for a really sick child.
Your money would go towards buying vital life saving equipment and funding research. It could help a child attend a fun workshop to distract them during that stressful time. It can help pay for more colourful an inviting furnishings, equipment and new indoor play areas. It could pay for entertainment systems in a child's bedroom to keep them occupied during their stay or for a pull out bed so their parents can stay by their side. The most costly thing it could go towards is transforming wards to single rooms with en-suite facilities and space to recover from painful surgeries with privacy.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my page.
