The Sick Children’s Trust is the charity that gives families with a seriously ill child in hospital a comfortable place to stay and a friendly ear to listen in one of our ten ‘Homes from Home’. By providing families with somewhere to stay near their child they have one less thing to worry about.

Story

Andrew, Jonny, Steve and John are planning a sponsored Bike ride on Sunday 25th Sept from the Childrens Hospital to Home in Epworth.  This is approx 40 miles, and for 4 guys that have not really been on a bike for 20 years this really is quite a challenge! 

Earlier this Year Jessica Banks (Andrew's Daughter) was very ill and spent 36 days in Intensive care at Sheffield Childrens Hospital. One of the things that really helped them through this very difficult period was a charity called the 'Sick Childrens Trust'.  This is a charity that provides a home from home for the family's of sick children at the major peadiatric hospitals around the country.   They were given a room at the Treetops house in Sheffield on the hospital premises. This really was a life saver and allowed them to spend as much time as possible with Jessica, but also have some home comforts, and have somewhere to spend time with their younger daughter Emily.

So please dig deep and donate now to help a very worthy charity.
