Gifts Galore for the Royal Alex Children’s Hospital

And with kids like Leon supporting our charity, My University Hospitals Sussex, it isn’t hard to believe. 

Unlike other boys his age, when Leon turned eight, he didn’t provide his parents with a long wish list of toys he wanted. Instead, he asked for toys to donate to poorly children. And so, when his birthday party rolled around, his friends all brought a present not for Leon, but for children staying in our hospital.

Leon shared:

After his birthday party, Leon and his mum Carrie headed to the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital to hand over the huge pile of presents to a very grateful Play Team.  

Amy from the Play Team said: “Thank you so much to Leon for the kind donation we received. It was such a thoughtful thing to do and the gifts will be really appreciated on the wards.”
