FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE Whatever you do and however much you raise, your money will help save lives and support sick children and their families at Bristol Children s Hospital.

Many of the young patients are local children, while some families travel across the region for specialist care and others from the whole of the UK for bone marrow transplants.

5 FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE Whatever you do and however much you raise, your money will help save lives and support sick children and their families at Bristol Children s Hospital. Over 100,000 children from across Bristol, the South West and South Wales are treated at Bristol Children s Hospital every year. Many of the young patients are local children, while some families travel across the region for specialist care and others from the whole of the UK for bone marrow transplants. The Grand Appeal supports Bristol Children s Hospital with pioneering, life-saving equipment and research, including ventilators, a cardiac hybrid theatre and an inter-operative MRI scanner, so that each child receives the best care possible. We offer comfort through our Grand Appeal family support worker and our home-from-home accommodation, where parents and siblings stay free of charge, for as long as they need. We ensure the hospital is a vibrant and child friendly place and help distract the young patients through our music therapy, art and play programmes. But none of this would be possible without you. By fundraising you are helping to give every child the care they need, and the chance they deserve. Thank you Life hugely improved for epilepsy patient Jack after pioneering surgery using the interoperative MRI scanner funded by The Grand Appeal. Music therapy distracts children like Ben and helps them escape the trauma of their treatment ,000 2, could buy toys, games, books and magazines to distract and entertain children of all ages. Our hospital stays would be 10 times worse without the toys, DVDs and oncology playroom, all funded by The Grand Appeal. Victoria, Bristol 100 could provide parents with emotional and practical help from our family support worker, enabling them to cope more easily with having a very sick child. She was very informative and listened to what our problems were. She kept in touch and her ability to keep me updated was just outstanding thank you. 500 could provide 10 music therapy sessions helping children to express themselves and lift their spirits. Ben was very sick and barely had the energy to do the smallest thing. To see therapist Claire and Ben singing together was amazing. He would beam whenever she arrived for their sessions. Natalie, Bude 1,000 could fund a month s accommodation for a family, just minutes from their child s bedside. Staying at the charity accommodation meant Noah s dad and sister could visit at the weekend, without the worry and expense of finding a city centre hotel. It also meant I could be a mummy and be there for Noah, day and night. Louise, Barnstaple 2,000 could go towards pioneering medical equipment to support the sickest children and help save lives Millie would not have made the journey to Bristol without the WATCh team and a specialist Babypod she was transported in. The compassion and attention to care was truly amazing. Mike, Swansea
