Crosshouse Children's Fund is the charity for babies, children and young people in hospital in Ayrshire and Arran. This is a charity close to my heart as I see first hand the difference it makes. I am not one for taking part in any challenges but always happy to donate. This challenge is different and I feel it’s time I put myself forward to take part! Wish me luck and give what you can.

Each year more than 25,000 babies, children and young people are treated at University Hospital Crosshouse, and the Ayrshire Maternity and Neonatal Units.

With the help of communities across Ayrshire and Arran, Crosshouse Children's Fund raises vital funds to help these children and their families.

The charity provides pioneering medical equipment and research, helps families navigate the pressures of a hospital stay, and supports the mental health of children by enabling them to play in hospital.

None of this would be possible without generous donations and fundraising – thank you.
