Story

Throughout the six-week summer holiday we completing different challenges to raise funds to help transform the lives of sick kids at Birmingham Children's Hospital. We want to raise lots of money for the hospital as our cousin Penny  has a liver condition, and Birmingham Children's hospital are looking after her. 

We will be starting our challenges on Saturday 22nd July and we will finish them on Saturday 2nd September. 

Dexter will be running  or cycling for 50 miles over the 6 weeks. 

Eli is going to bounce  on his trampoline for 6 mins (in one go) every day of the 6 weeks holiday. Which is 252 minutes in total. 

"I would like to raise money for Birmingham's children hospital because my 8 month old cousin in the hospital who is suffering with a poorly liver, so she will need a operation.Also, I would like to raise money for all the other children who need to stay longer at the hospital and the money may go towards getting them toys, decorations on their ward and equipment they will need." (Dexter) 

" I think it will be fun to raise money. They are helping Penny so we need to raise lots of money" Eli
