Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are taking on The Great Wall of China Trek in September to raise money and awareness for Alder Hey Children's Charity!

A fantastic Charity that plays a vital role in ensuring that children receive the best possible care and have a positive experience during what can be a challenging time.

The hospital treats around 450,000 children a year from tiny new born babies all the way up to teenagers. The charity funds major medical equipment, research and helps to create a fun and magical experience for families going through a difficult time.

The funds for this trek will be used in support of Tenfold Errors in Medication Research, this is a research project in collaboration with the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit, analysing medication errors in under and overdosing patients. Also the patterns that may lead to these errors. Medication Administrating errors are common with children and young adults three times more likely to be seriously harmed in comparison to adults.

The research will take place over a 25 month period and will allow any interventions to be identified and developed to limit these errors on a National basis, the research will also look into any particular at risk reasons for these errors such as sex, age and ethnicity. This will help to identify more specific interventions necessary.

We believe that every child deserves a chance at a healthy life, this is why we are committed to funding research that will change their lives and improve their quality of life.

With us both soon to be first time dads, we could not be happier on raising the funds for a fantastic cause, so please support us in any way you can.

Every donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your generosity!
