Message from Rosie’s ParentsSince 2001 when Rosie was fatallystabbed in a motiveless and randomattack in Centenary Square(Birmingham), £175,000 has beenraised by donations received fromthe public.

During 2006 we were able to helpsixteen local causes who shared justover £8,000. We were also able togive £5,000 to the University of Birmingham, CancerStudies to purchase a piece of equipment which willenable patients to receive their biopsy results quickerand so begin appropriate treatment earlier.

Here are the local projects who received a helpinghand during 2006.
