"I am so grateful. When I was in Thailand I was given two hours to live – I thought I had indigestion and I had to come off the golf course! But Mr Petkar put the defibrillator in and I haven’t had any problems since. This treatment has given me a new lease of life. This is an annual fundraiser and this time I was only too happy to donate it to the people who saved my life."

"The sensory room is such a lovely bright, colourful and safe space for the patients. We feel very lucky to have this on our ward at Wolverhampton as not every Children’s Ward has one, so we’re very grateful to the scheme for funding it. Some of our children with complex health needs have been here for a long time and it’s really hard on the child and the families."

Kirsty Lewis, Matron

"To give back to the community is fantastic and a lot of fundraising has taken place to be able to make this donation. To bring a bit of fun into what can be a traumatic experience is what we aim to do with these cars."

"I see the ICCU Nurses as the elite of the elite – they have so much compassion for the job. They are in a different league, they are just so fantastic! We’re grateful to them and lucky to have them and we would be more than happy for the money raised to go to the staff or the patients. I only thought we’d raise £100 but we received £1,120 on the day and it’s grown and grown since."

"I owe my life to the staff at New Cross Hospital and I want to help people who have what I had. What impressed me at the prostate cancer evening was that we had men in their 20s and 30s, not just older ages, so people are starting to realise that this is something that can affect anyone at any time."
