Bryan Marshall and Friends - Yorkhill Fundraiser IMG 1073

Support Yorkhll Sick Kids Hospital| “Don’t You Forget About Me”

Got to the gym at 6:30am, feeling self righteous and motivated just to be met by my personal trainer Bryan Marshall at the door… on a Spin Bike!
Bryan came off his real bike and became the meat in a double decker bus sandwich about 12 weeks ago. An incredbile recovery and a real inspiration as he gets back on his bike to raise money for Yorkhill Sick Kids. Starting with a 13 hour spinnathon then a road trip with some friends to Barcelona.
I asked him why they need him to do this and he hesitated because it is all too obvious to hih

It is to make sure that all children and young people who are treated at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children have the best care and experience possible.


160,000 babies, children and young people are treated at the hospital every year. Yorkhill Children’s Charity sits firmly at the heart of the hospital, raising money to ensure that our young patients and their families receive the best possible care.
With your support, we can fund:
  • Enhanced medical equipment to help our doctors, nurses and surgeons treat our children;
  • Innovative play programmes that help to distract, teach and treat children during their stay;
  • Family support services that care for parents, families and carers during difficult times;
  • Groundbreaking paediatric research to help future generations of Scotland’s children.
In 2015, the hospital will move from its current home at Yorkhill to a brand new children’s hospital at the Southern General. We need your support to ensure that we can continue to provide world-class care for Scotland’s sick children for years to come.
The charity that Bryan and his friends are supporting says
We rely entirely on the support of donors, fundraisers and volunteers – without your help, we simply could not do what we do.

Last year you helped us to raise £5.2 million; money that makes a real and lasting difference to thousands of children and their families.

We need your help to invest in the enhacements and innovative programmes that make such a difference to our patients.
By donating or fundraising for Yorkhill Children’s Charity, you are helping us to care for Scotland’s sick children today, and for years to come.
