What's Next?
This year, Sweets for Life have set the ambitious target of raising £250,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital, funding the building of an ECG room in the new clinical building due to be completed in 2010. This will mean there will be the best facilities to measure and diagnose abnormal rhythms of the heart for children who need expert treatment.
Once again, on behalf of all the patients, parents and staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital, thank you for your generous support. It is much appreciated, greatly valued, and makes a very real difference, enabling the hospital to build on its success and stay at the forefront of paediatric medicine.
