Braddock International’s story
Hello,
Here at Braddock International, we have decided as a team that we shall be completing the Mt. Kilimanjaro Challenge, in order to raise money for the local children's hospice, Leo House (https://www.leohouse.org.uk/).
Leo House carries out some incredible work in caring for life limited children and providing support to families throughout Sussex. The nurses operate as a part of the Chestnut Tree House community team and have their own base in the Leo House office in Brighton. Each nurse has their own case load of around 20 families, supporting them from the difficult time of diagnosis through to end of life and bereavement. The team assists in providing help and advice which will support the children, young people and their families according to their individual physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs.
In order to raise money for Leo House, our team of 6 will be completing the Mt. Kilimanjaro Challenge over the course of a weekend. This will require us to complete a distance of 60 miles, the equivalent to the distance required to reach the summit of the tallest mountain in Africa. We will run/walk this distance between us, in various locations throughout Sussex, aiming to complete the challenge in the fastest time possible.
All money raised will go directly to Leo House, helping them to provide care in the following ways:
- Looking after the sick child or young person so the rest of the family can spend time together.
- Providing support around obtaining specialist equipment.
- Assessing and monitoring the on-going needs of the very sick child or young person.
- Working closely with statutory and voluntary agencies, and medical professionals to ensure the family receives the services best suited to their needs.
- Befriending and listening to the concerns of the whole family.
- Teaching and training families to carry out medical procedures such as tube feeding, tracheotomy tubes and administering medication.
We are of course looking to raise as much money as possible, so we ask that you donate as much as you are comfortably able to do so for this excellent cause.
Thank you.
