Help us make a difference
Great Ormond Street are aiming to raise £160,000 through Peter Pan Week to help build two new en-suite bedrooms in the cardiac centre. The current facilities are cramped and the new rooms will mean having enough space for life saving equipment and a spare bed for mum and dad and we all know how much that means, making it a much less frightening experience for the whole family.

As members will know i was in Disneyland this week and i met the real Peter Pan and i asked his views on this event he said

"Great Ormond Street do some remarkable work for many sick and disabled children and help them achieve the dream of never growing up so if all members of Parents of disabled children can get involved it would be amazing"
Love Peter Pan
