Chris Reeder and Louise Calver's 15-year-old daughter Kacey spent two weeks at the Jenny Lind Children's Hospital, at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, to treat her scoliosis.

To keep her occupied during her stay in December 2017, the teenager was able to use some of the toys and games available.

Upon leaving the hospital following Kacey's surgery, Mr Reeder , from Diss, vowed he would do something to show his appreciation to the staff for how well they cared for his daughter.

On Sunday 10 motorbikes from the Mischief Motorcycle Club, an American-style lorry, and a van convoyed from Diss to Norwich to drop off a wide-range of toys.

'The staff looked after Kacey tremendously well and we could not have asked for anymore,' said Mr Reeder. 'The way they looked after her, I just knew I had to give something back.'

Through a fundraising page, the couple raised £1,027.

With the money they were able to buy portable DVD players, DVDs and Nintendos from Smyths Toys Store, who in turn also donated items.

A range of old and new toys have also been donated by the couple's colleagues and friends, including puzzles, Lego and books.

Steve Nicholls, play specialist at the hospital, said: 'Chris has been really good to us and has donated some excellent toys, puzzles and electronic items.

'The activities really do make a difference to the children and we're really grateful for their support.'

Mr Reeder said he will now look to see how he can help the hospital in the future.

'You just cannot take for granted the NHS and it is just a fantastic service,' said the 47-year-old. 'If I can help in any way I will. I said to Steve [Nicholls] before we left that I would do something.'

Mr Reeder's employer Claret Civil Engineering helped with the donation and provided the transport to get the toys to the hospital. Help was also given by Mike Newman Haulage and Diss-based Fatstickman.

Hospital fundraising manager Louise Cook added: 'It is brilliant that people are realising that they can help their local children's hospital and make a difference to local children.'
