Happy Friday everyone. What a week, in and out of the ward. They've been stepping in hail and shine! So here's the latest WARD 3 JUNE step challenge leaderboard. WE HAVE A NEW LEADER! The Ward 3 crown has been officially transferred. What will tomorrow bring? Becky had the crown briefly on Wednesday as she snook up fast and overtook Molly. We'd all love to know what they've been doing to get their steps in... Neil visited Gill this week and turned down a seat and a coffee as he 'wasn't staying long and needed to get his steps in'😂We've heard videos from the staff are in the works showing what they get up to 😌 Thank you all very much for your support so far! Trustee Dan x P.S if you know anyone who would like to donate prizes for the Ward 3 staff for the end of the step challenge, please mention them and we'll DM privately. We have a few already! --- Why are we doing this? --- The children on Ward 3 in the Great North Children’s Hospital are isolated in their air-locked cubicles, but for months at a time. No sun, no wind, no rain and no immune system. Most would die before their first birthday without treatment. This fundraising campaign ran by our ward 3 colleagues will help give our patients a better childhood under these conditions offering toys, entertainment and pain distraction units as well as funding the research that actually helps fix their compromised immune systems. That’s why the Ward 3 staff are walking 10k steps a day this june, for the patients and for their families too.@

Ward 3 Step challenge results Sunday 2nd
We have a new overall solo leader for our Ward 3 June 10k-a-day step challenge 😄Molly isn't too happy... Thank you so much for all your support so far. You’re helping save the lives of children born without an immune system and allowing us to give families a warm welcome to the ward when they travel far and wide to stay with us during the transplant. Thank you, as ever, to our Ward 3 staff who work tirelessly to help these families. If you haven’t already, you still have time to sponsor all 25 staff doing this month’s 10k a day step challenge. We're only 2 days in! You are also able to create a fundraiser yourself! Message us if you want to know how! x Dan, Trustee

The results are in for the first day of the Ward 3 Step Challenge! See who takes the lead. Thank you so much for all your support so far. You're helping save the lives of children born without an immune system and allowing us to give families a warm welcome to the ward when they travel far and wide to stay with us during their transplant. Everybody now knows what it's like to be isolated after COVID; these children are isolated in one room for months at a time-no sun, no wind, no pets-and these donations help give them a better childhood under these conditions, as well as fund the research that actually makes them better. Thank you, as ever, to our Ward 3 staff who work tirelessly to help these families. If you haven't already, you still have time to sponsor all 25 staff doing this month's 10k a day step challenge.

Great news! Latvia has officially launched Newborn Screening for SCID! This remarkable advancement means that newborns in Latvia will receive timely identification, giving them a crucial chance at survival. Newborn screening for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a critical public health program aimed at detecting SCID early in infants. SCID is a group of rare, life-threatening genetic disorders characterized by a severely impaired immune system, making infants highly susceptible to infections. Early identification through screening allows for timely medical intervention, significantly improving survival rates and health outcomes.#worldpiweek2024 #scid #pid #primaryimmunodeficiency #primaryimmunedeficiency #severecombinedimmunodeficiency #severecombinedimmunedeficiency #chronicgranulomatousdisease #immune #immunesystem #immunedefense #immunedisorders #immunedisorder #immunedeficiency #latvia🇱🇻 #latvia
