Thousands sit still for Kidney Kids

On Friday 3rd April 2009 thousands of school children across the West Midlands 'sat still' in aid of 大象传媒 WM's Kidney Kids Appeal. See our photos.

More than 12,500 children in various Birmingham and Black Country schools were sponsored to sit quietly for part of a lesson or break.

Why? Well that's what children on dialysis have to do for four hours, up to three times a week.

The 'Big Sit Still' was part of 大象传媒 WM's Kidney Kids Appeal - our campaign to raise over 拢1,000,000 to replace the outdated kidney unit at Birmingham's Children's Hosptial.
