Danny Harrison, Business Development Manager of Nicklin Transit Packaging said: We urge fellow Made in the Midlands members to join us by taking part and help raise funds and support such a special cause. He added: Birmingham Childrens Hospital have recently reached a major milestone by celebrating their 150th birthday and we too are also marking our 100th year.

The fundraising event will continue to support numerous research projects into childhood dieseases and their cures. Research, conducted here at Birmingham Childrens Hospital, has in the last year helped in the earlier diagnosing of brain tumours in children.
Fundraising is also important to enable investment in state-of-the-art equipment to better treat their young patients. They have, for example, recently purchased an ECMO Machine, which acts as a mechanical heart to help keep children with complex heart conditions in a stable condition whilst they build up their strength.
To ensure their patients still have a childhood, Birmingham Childrens Hospital also allocate donations towards specialist toys, arts and craft materials, giggle doctors and therapy sessions.
