I saw an interesting post on my FB feed today from Hannah Hampton who has recently been crowned the BBC Sport “Women’s Footballer of the Year” award. She is the Chelsea and Lioness keeper who has overcome much to reach her level. Hampton was born with strabismus, an eye condition that affects depth perception. By the age of three she had undergone three operations at Birmingham Children’s Hospital to try and correct it and is now an ambassador for the hospital. She is currently raising funds and wrote,

“Birmingham Children’s Hospital looked after me for 6 years – and now it’s our time to look after them.

For £5 per ticket, you can enter the raffle and be in with chance to win signed lionesses shirts from Euro Winning Team, to raise money for the incredible kids fighting battles no child should face.

All money raised will go towards supporting the 100,000 sick kids the hospital treats every year.
