Thank you people for visiting my page, I would like to start by telling you all a little about what i am raising money for :

 

A new, state of the art Royal Hospital for Sick Children will be built at Little France in Edinburgh by the end of 2012, providing world class healthcare for children and young people from all over Scotland.

The sick kids friends foundation is helping to raise funds for research, capital equipment and support and services for patients and their families. 

With your help we will assist in further developing the Sick Kid’s reputation as a centre of excellence of paediatric healthcare across the world.

 

All funds raised by the sick kids friends foundation will pay for equipment and services that are not covered by standard NHS budgets. 

The new hospital fund will supply the Sick Kids with capital equipment at the forefront of paediatric healthcare which will, in turn, attract the very best medical practitioners to the hospital.

Monies raised by the sick kids friends foundation new hospital fund will be used in a variety of ways to support patients and their families so that they have some of the comforts of home in a hospital setting. 

This includes:

• play equipment
• a Drop In centre for patients and their families to get away from the hospital environment
• family accommodation so that children can spend the night before an operation with their family and parents can stay close at hand while their child is being treated
• classrooms so that patients can continue their studies from hospital
• access to the internet to keep children in touch with family and friends so that they don’t feel isolated and also to help families keep up with work commitments

 

So as you can see for yourself people this is a very worthwhile charity and that any donation however large or small will help the charity to reach their target. If you would like to sponsor me and make my terryifing leap in the abyss worthwhile i would very much appreciate every penny you can donate. I thank you all in anticipation
