Fabulous mummy and patient of ours! Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sheffield Children’s is celebrating its 150-year anniversary this year and the charity its 50-year anniversary. Stories like this remind us just how incredible the hospital and its teams truly are 💙
Last September, Bethany Knowles, her sister Abbie, and their dad Dave took on the Great North Run - not for medals or personal bests, but to say thank you to Sheffield Children’s Paediatric Critical Care Unit.
Their inspiration was Archie, Bethany’s son, who spent much of his early life receiving specialist care at Sheffield Children’s after being born prematurely with complex medical needs. Archie spent seven months on HDU and ICU, where his family were supported not just with expert medical care, but with kindness, compassion, and the small touches that make the hardest days a little easier.
Now thriving and approaching his third birthday, Archie is off machines, full of character, and taking on the world. To give back, the family ran 13 miles together, raising over £1,760 (and counting) to support other families going through similar journeys.
