Birmingham Children's Hospital treats one in five children from Birmingham and one in eight from the wider West Midlands. I work in the building next door and it breaks my heart to see so many sick children arriving, often by air ambulance, with distraught parents. Each of these patients will benefit from the money you kindly donate - whether that is by helping improve the play areas for children in hospital, ensuring that they have the latest equipment and technology, or by supporting research into new ways to treat childhood diseases.
