Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 12th May, I will be running my first half marathon in Leeds with my dad. This will be the furthest I've ever run in my life so a huge challenge. Since starting working for the Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, it's made me more aware of the essential work this charity does for poorly children. If you can spare even a small donation, we would be so grateful. Your sponsors will help to: improve the environment of the Sheffield Children's Hospital for children spending extended periods of time in hospital, provide specialist medical equipment for children with rare illnesses, develop new facilities to extend the range of treatment the hospital can provide and research into the care, prevention and cure of childhood illnesses.

The Children’s Hospital Charity exists to make an extraordinary hospital even better. Each year over 245,000 patient visits are made to Sheffield Children's Hospital from across South Yorkshire, the UK and the world. Through charitable donations we buy life-saving equipment, fund vital research, alongside creating a comfortable, engaging environment for our patients.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
