Story

Please support my efforts to reach the North Pole by giving money to COSMIC (Children of St Mary’s Intensive Care). My friends Ian and Emma Rosenblatts son Patricks life was saved by this incredible institution, he has grown into such a cool, personable and again I use the word inspirational young man (Sounds pompous but he might not like being described as the  dude he is !)  why else would I flog to the north pole rather than crash on a beach if it weren't for people like Patrick who's example of courage,  tenacity and triumph over potential adversity makes you want to help the people who helped him.

COSMIC was founded in 1994 to raise money for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London, which treats around 400 desperately sick children every year.
Money donated to COSMIC is used to buy much-needed equipment, fund internationally significant research into life-threatening childhood diseases, pay for training for health professionals involved in paediatric intensive care and to support staff and families.
I'm not walking to the North Pole dragging a heavy sledge for fun! Dig deep in respect of  Patrick's example and for the people who helped him when he really needed it and donate now to help COSMIC and their worthwhile cause.
