Some of you might remember me posting a plea for help earlier this year, on behalf of one of my colleagues, whose baby son was in a horrific, near fatal car accident.
Against all odds, Sam is still fighting, and has even been allowed home for a day here and there, but although this is progress, he still has a long way to go.
Since his accident, Sam's been looked after by the staff of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at Bristol Royal Children's Hospital.
Now, I've mentioned before that I work with an amazing bunch of people, and as an example of just how amazing they are, one of my colleauges, Henny, is going to raise money for the unit by dog sledding over 250km in the Arctic Circle in January. Her initial target is £3,000 and she's putting up the cash for the actual sledding trip herself, to make sure every penny raised goes to the hospital to buy equipment that will directly help Sam and the other children being treated there.
To find out more, and to sponsor her, you can visit her justgiving page.
Any contributions would be incredible, and even a couple of quid will go a long way! Feel free to forward this to friends, family and colleagues, or to post this information on your own blog.
Thank you for your support - it will really help Sam and other children like him.
