Some of the Mission Systems Finance team are running the Plymouth Half Marathon / Plymouth 10k on the 11th May to raise money for The Grand Appeal.

This is a charity close to us all as a member of our team's son was cared for at Bristol hospital. Baby Fred was rushed up to Bristol Children’s Hospital with life-threatening heart failure at one and a half weeks old. The nurses and doctors were incredible, they worked continuously to bring him to a stable condition whilst supporting his parents through an extremely difficult 14 weeks in intensive care.

Fred was able to come home in November to enjoy his first Christmas at home with his family. However, there was a continued requirement for him to visit the hospital while he is on this journey . Bristol Hospital continues to support Fred and his family on this road to recovery.

They help children every day with ground-breaking technology. Technology and equipment that played a large part in saving Fred's life as well as several other children. The money raised goes into pioneering medical equipment, free family accommodation, child-friendly facilities, artwork, music and play therapy programmes to support sick children and babies.

If you are in a position to, donations of any size are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Finance team, Mission Systems
