Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I have my own place but I've chosen to run on behalf of Nicholls Ward at St George's Hospital, Tooting, where one of my daughter's best friends stayed recently after a critical operation. Thankfully she is on the path to recovery but the help of the play therapists, and their equipment was crucial to making her pre-op and post-op care a less daunting and calmer experience. 

This is what Leila's mum Sarah said about the ward;

"No parent wants their child to have to undergo major surgery. 
Having to put our own worries and concerns to one side to make sure we were supporting Leila as much as we could was instantly made so much better once we were on the ward; play therapists showed her photos of the anaesthetic room, how she would go to sleep, where should wake up as well as coming down to theatre letting Leila play on an iPad was something we will never forget.  The facilities to let parents stay with their children were great and allowed you to spend all the time with your child.  We'll never be able to thank all of the staff enough."
