00:00Why Lions? Because we really want to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Trust and really

00:16want to showcase that the Trust Sheffield Children's is the pride of Yorkshire. It's

00:21about how we're coming together as a community to make sure our children and young people have

00:26a healthier future. We're aiming to raise £2.8 million and so it's just so exciting to be able

00:32to lead this amazing sculpture trail and celebrate with people across South Yorkshire. To anyone who

01:01incredible to be part of something so big for the hospital. We've got a workforce of over

01:05200 people and a large majority of those people have used at some point in the past or in the

01:11future will use the Children's Hospital and it's something that we can all really resonate

01:15with and it's something that we've kind of supported in the past before but never anything

01:19this big but as soon as the opportunity came about we were like yep definitely this is the

01:24one for us. We've already said we're going to do things where like Lolog employees are going
