00:00 I've donated to Children's Hospital because I knew a little boy before who was called Jude, aged 5 and died of neuroblastoma.
00:08 And he unfortunately passed away a few months ago in this hospital, so I'm doing fundraising for the unit that he was in.
00:18 So for Children's Hospital I've been selling some keyrings, scrunchies and some football memorabilia, football signs signed by some Wednesday players.
00:33 And the Wednesday players are Barry and some other people.
00:37 And in January I'm going to be selling an Esme Morgan shirt for auction.
00:42 It was about 6 years ago, my daughter was in and out of hospital and while we were there just the dedication of the staff was really nice and the care that we got.
00:52 So I just wanted to give something back really. Yeah, so it's nice.
00:57 Just having it on your doorstep is really nice and just the level of care and dedication each time is really nice.
01:04 We figured this is the centre of Sheffield, the Children's Hospital is. Every year it lights up and we wanted to be a part of that.
01:13 It feels like giving back to the community, which is hugely important to the University.
01:18 Students here, we see so many people going into the hospital every day, the kids walking in always a little bit nervous.
01:27 But the amazing stuff that the hospital does to relieve that tension and they've got another society at the University of Sheffield, the Teddy Bear Society, alleviates all those concerns.
