Story

Throughout the six-week summer holiday, we are completing six challenges to raise funds to help transform the lives of sick kids at Birmingham Children's Hospital.

As a family, we will all be completing a 5k run each week in memory of our brave hero Weej, whilst trying to raise money to help other poorly children. Birmingham Children’s Hospital treats some of the sickest children in the UK and all donations help make it that little bit easier for the families and hopes to find new ways to treat and cure childhood diseases. The hospital is a leading, specialist paediatric centre, delivering some of the most advanced treatments, complex surgical procedures and cutting-edge research to over 90,000 children and young people from across the UK and beyond. 

Weej was looked after by Birmingham Childrens Hospital whilst undergoing his chemo treatment so we know too well the amazing work that they do and how important it is to try and make it as comfortable as possible during such a scary time. 

We are hoping to raise £60 each (£10 for each activity we complete) and no doubt there will be some healthy competition along the way!! Look out for our weekly updates! 😁

Any support you are able to give us would be hugely appreciated.

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.
