Story

Both of my children have needed the care of Sheffield Children's Hospital, like I sure many other peoples have, but especially my son James William. He spend the first 6 month of his life in various hospitals, but 122 of those nights in this hospital, and a further 31 in his 2nd 6 months of life. 

James William was born without his throat connected to his stomach and heart defects, and he has under gone and will still under go a number of surgeries to support him to swallow normally. We are so lucky to have one of the few dedicated Children's hospitals nationally right on our door step.

I know we all get a bit of charity appeal fatigue, which is why I have only put this fundraising page up for a few days prior to the event.
