Poppy Fields Charity

Our beautiful daughter, Poppy, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in March 2004 when she was only 14-months-old. To date she has endured 3 brain surgeries and 17-months of chemotherapy. She started another course of chemotherapy in January 2008. We found out on April 21st that this treatment failed. Poppy completed a 28-day course of radiotherapy on July 16th. We are now waiting for a scan date to see if the treatment has worked.

As a thanks for the excellent care Poppy has received at Birmingham Children's Hospital, our charity Poppy Fields was set up in April 2004. To date we have donated over £80,000 to the hospital.

We are currently fundraising to support Poppy's Consultant Oncologist, Dr. Andrew Peet, in his research into Childhood Brain Tumours. Please visit our website to find out more information.

For our latest fundraising event, a group of us are taking part in a 'Sponsored Slim'. We will keep going until we are happy with our weight!! My first target is to lose 2 stone.
As a part of my slimming & fitness effort, I will also be taking part in the Adidas 5K Women's Challenge on Sunday 7th September....dressed as a cheer leader High School Musical style!!! Scary, eh??
Any donations made through this site will go directly to Dr. Peet's Research Fund at the hospital.
