How your support will help:
All funds raised on the night will go towards the building of a new family room in our Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Our ICU is where our most critically ill patients are treated by the incredible Hospital staff. This family room will provide a space for families and loved ones to go to relax and take some time out from what can be an incredibly worrying and difficult situation.??
