We support Birmingham Children's Hospital to improve the lives of sick children

Story

We are raising funds for Birmingham Children's hospital where both of our boy's have been or are being treated.  A couple of year's ago Jemma's son Finn's life was saved by the incrdible team when he had a brain tumour removed.  Not only are we raising funds and awareness but we want other parents to know that after something as life changing as having a very sick child that life can be fun again- even if that means getting in a boat with an equally crazy friend and challenging yourself!  Some of our training and story can be seen here

About the charity

It's bewildering and unsettling for anyone going into hospital but especially for children and that is why we are a fundraising hospital. We raise funds to enhance the experience of our patients by providing state of the art medical equipment and facilities and creating a child-friendly environment.
