Story

Dragon Boat racing is one of the most colourful and exhilarating water sport activities and were excited to announce that you'll be able to part in our very first Dragon Boat Race in support of our sick kids.

Racing in traditional Dragon Boats on the canal next to The Mailbox in the heart of Birmingham, your team of ten paddlers and one drummer will take part in a minimum of three races, after which the winning team will be awarded the coveted Dragon Trophy!

We have an amazing hospital with brilliant, compassionate staff who work incredibly hard to deliver the very best treatment and care to our patients and their families. By supporting this event you could be helping to;

- Empower us to take innovative approaches to treating some of the sickest children in the UK:

- Enables us to make our hospital feel just like home

- Find new ways to treat and cure childhood diseases

Our doctors and nurses have the skills and expertise to transform so many young lives, but we need your support to raise vital funds for state-of-the-art equipment, pioneering research and exciting, creative environments to ensure that our children continue to receive the world-class care that they all deserve.

Good luck to all our Dragon Boat Race participants and thank you for your support.

About the charity

It's bewildering and unsettling for anyone going into hospital but especially for children and that is why we are a fundraising hospital. We raise funds to enhance the experience of our patients by providing state of the art medical equipment and facilities and creating a child-friendly environment.
