I am doing the British 10K Run 2017 to raise funds to help refurbish the play terrace on our children's ward. Our children's ward doctors, nurses, support staff and play specialists all do an amazing job with limited resources and the play terrace is in need of an overhaul.

Please spare a few quid so we can provide a new play space for our young patients whilst they are going through challenging times. Play isn't just 'play' - it is very therapeutic when a youngster is distressed and can be a good distraction before, during and after treatments. It just helps their stay in hospital that little bit easier.

Thank you
