Day 6 of our 2025 highlights countdown marks one of the most meaningful moments of the year - the official opening of The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease 💜

What began as a shared dream between Rob Burrow and Dr Agam Jung became a reality this November, as the UK’s first purpose-built centre for MND care, research, and support opened its doors at Seacroft Hospital.

Created with compassion and designed around the needs of patients and families, the new centre provides a calm, welcoming space where world-class care and community come together.

This incredible milestone was made possible through the £6.8 million fundraising appeal led by Leeds Hospitals Charity, with extraordinary support from Kevin Sinfield, Leeds Rhinos, and more than 17,000 donors who helped turn Rob’s vision into something truly special.

A beacon of hope, built on teamwork, determination, and love - and a lasting legacy for Rob, his family, and everyone affected by MND. 💜

Day 5 of our 2025 highlights countdown takes us back to one of the most inspiring projects of the year - our Early Career Researcher Exhibition 💜

Showcasing the work of brilliant early career researchers from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Leeds, the exhibition shone a light on groundbreaking studies tackling everything from brain tumours to innovative treatments for young patients. 🧠✨

Each story was paired with a corresponding patient journey, bringing research to life and showing how discoveries made here in Leeds are transforming care across our hospitals.

Beautifully captured by Leeds Arts University student Ruby Lee, the exhibition launched at the Innovation Pop Up at Leeds General Infirmary before touring to St James’s Hospital and the University of Leeds earlier this year.

A celebration of science, compassion, and collaboration - and a powerful reminder of how research changes lives. 💜

Day 4 of our 2025 highlights countdown is dedicated to a project that’s been growing and thriving across Leeds Children’s Hospital - our Family Support Trolley! 🛒💜

Launched in late 2024, the trolley has really taken off this year, expanding to even more wards and helping hundreds of families during their hospital stays. It’s stocked with free snacks, drinks, and toiletries - small comforts that make a big difference for parents and carers spending long days by their child’s bedside. 🥪🧃🪥

“Thank you so much from a tired mum - it makes such a difference having snacks and drinks available. What a wonderful job and lovely staff.”

That’s just one of the many heartfelt messages we’ve received from families touched by our Trolley Trips.

A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers, including Debra, who joined after retiring from teaching and says, “I like to feel like I’m putting a smile on people’s faces. It’s about supporting the families, not just the kids.” 💜

A simple idea that’s bringing care, comfort, and kindness to more families every month. 🌟

Day 3 of our 2025 highlights countdown shines a light on one truly inspiring woman - Jacqui Drake 💜

This year, we were so proud to celebrate with Jacqui as she reached the incredible milestone of £500,000 raised through her Jacqui’s Million appeal, supporting cancer care in Leeds.

Despite living with terminal cancer and undergoing major treatment, including the removal of her right lung, Jacqui has never stopped giving her time, energy, and positivity to help others.

💬 “It’s not only the fundraising, but spreading positivity and giving hope to others in difficult times,” says Jacqui.

From hospital stalls and events to her own podcast, Jacqui’s determination has already changed countless lives - and she’s not stopping until she reaches that million! 🌟

Day 2 of our 2025 highlights countdown is all about one of the sweetest moments of the year! 🍦💜

We brought the treats to Leeds Children’s Hospital, thanks to the generosity of our amazing supporters. With help from Mr Whippy Leeds, we handed out free ice creams to young patients and their families - a little moment of joy on the wards. 💙

For children unable to leave their rooms, our incredible Play Team made sure no one missed out, taking orders and delivering each ice cream straight to their bedside.

Moments like these remind us how powerful small acts of kindness can be. ✨
Thank you for helping us make them happen! 💜

This Christmas will look very different for the family of two month old twin brothers Sanad and Sahm, who are spending the festive season at Leeds Children's Hospital as they remain in isolation and undergo treatment for a rare immune disorder, Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).

Their incredible big brother Saif has already shown what true bravery looks like. As a 100% bone marrow match, he became his brothers’ Little Hero, donating bone marrow to give them the best possible chance of recovery.

The twins are currently receiving chemotherapy, and their family are hoping that after around a year of treatment, the boys will be well again. Until then, life looks very different for the whole family. Mum spends most days and nights in hospital caring for the twins, while Saif often has to be apart from her and can’t visit his brothers.

But thanks to the amazing Play Team at the Children’s Hospital, Saif has still been able to experience some Christmas magic. From festive parties to meeting Santa at the Winter Wonderland, these moments help bring a sense of normality to the family during an incredibly tough time. 🎄✨
