A Message from Our President


Our mission is to help all children to be born healthy. Every year, many children are born who may never experience the joys of playing a sport.

A Message from Our co-president

- Gabby and Kenny Logan
Gabby and Kenny


We are delighted to be Sparks co-presidents for 2008.

After supporting the charity for several years and having a lot of fun and good times in the process, our own tricky and sometimes traumatic road to parenthood only reinforced our understanding of the importance of medical research.

Sparks is the only children’s charity to fund medical research into every kind of paediatric condition.

Quite simply, that means by supporting Sparks you are joining teams of doctors and scientists throughout the UK tackling a diverse range of opponents.

Our goal is to help them beat illnesses like cancer, juvenile arthritis, cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, infant brain damage and many more.

The famous celebrities who support Sparks do so knowing that one in every 30 babies in the UK is born with a condition that is either life-threatening or can affect them for life.

But did you know that less than 1% of the NHS budget goes to paediatric medical research and that vital research relies heavily on charities like Sparks rather than the state?

Please join the team and help Sparks hit our goal and give more kids the best start of all in life…a healthy one.
