Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are planning to Skydive for on September 4th  2009  - yes we must be mad jumping from a perfectly serviceable aeroplane at 10000ft falling at 120miles an hour, but it is all for a worthwhile cause!  

There are so many good causes and charities vying for donations out there and it was so difficult to choose just one from so many and especially in the current climate.  However, we agreed to donate to .  

Thousands of children visit the hospital every year, many come with complex problems, sometimes life threatening. The surgeons and nurses who look after such tender charges continue to provide specialist care and offer pioneering treatments.  As a child I (Laura) spent a lot of time visiting the hospital and have always been amazed by the dedication and support that those who work at the hospital offer. It is not surprising that GOSH is considered to be one of best children’s hospitals in the world.

Your money could help provide the following:

£20 - could buy four special neonatal masks, small and delicate enough to fit a new born baby’s face

£35  - could help towards the cost of an operating microscope for one of our surgical theatres

£50  - could pay for five nights up keep for one of our patient accommodation rooms

£100  - a great big gift like this could buy four toys specially adapted for the children to help with their rehabilitation

£500  - a respiration monitor to track a child’s breathing

 

Your donation will be greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance for your support from Laura and Bruce.
