We have just £10k left to raise so we can make make the research facility a reality. Will you join us in our mission to unlock hope children across the South West? No child should miss out on a treatment that could save their life In the region, the opportunity for young patients with life-limiting conditions to join potentially lifesaving research trials is restricted, as our hospital is the only big children's hospital in the UK without a dedicated research facility. Patients and families are left without hope. Hope for a better future. Hope for a cure. Together we can change that. Imagine if you had to travel hundreds of miles to try a new treatment for your child A poorly child rocks family life to its core. Parents suddenly have to juggle a new normal. Hospital appointments filled with worry. Progress mixed with setbacks. Endless updates to friends and family rallying around them. What if your only hope for a cure for your child was to travel hundreds of miles to London, Birmingham or even further afield to try a new, innovative treatment? Bringing hope closer to home Now imagine if, alongside those family and friends, an entire region rallied behind those families to help build a ground-breaking children’s research centre right here in Bristol. A place where children from all over the region could join innovative treatment trials and families have hope their child has a healthier future. This is hope. Right here, in Bristol Treatment has changed life for Harrison Harrison was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at three weeks old.
