Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
In November 2021, we (Chris and Mark) are taking on the challenge of completing 10 marathons (each) in 5 days.
We will attempt to complete 2 marathons every day, for 5 consecutive days, mixed between running, cycling and rowing disciplines (i.e. cycle and run, row and cycle, etc)
Exact details on the date(s) and order of events will be decided soon but we wanted to get ahead and start fundraising as soon as possible!
£2000 is the target. But it is unfair to ask for your money without giving you an insight into what your money can buy.
The following costs have been provided to us by the Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity:
- £5 could purchase crayons and colouring books to keep little minds busy while they wait for test results
- £10 could purchase sing along sessions for children to enjoy at their bedside to improve wellbeing and confidence
- £20 could purchase Mental Health Passport's for young patients working with Mental Health Services, designed to empower them and manage their own wellbeing
- £50 could fill a 'distraction' bag with toys, games and puzzles
- £50 could pay for 2 giggle doctor sessions to keep little ones busy before and during medical procedures
- £100 could help fund research by enabling medical teams to explore new techniques and treatments to improve and save young lives
- £200 will buy a tablet and child friendly games to keep their little minds distracted
- £300 could fund wall mounted activity tables for the waiting rooms
- £500 could purchase DVD's to keep children calm during MRI scan
- £700 could fund special gildeaway beds so parents can sleep next to their children
- £1000 could pay for over-bed TV's to entertain bed bound children
- £1000 could also fund new pieces of equipment, such as urine analysis machines
Help up bring some light to sick children and their families.
Thank you
