Fundraising for Pulmonary Hypertension Association UK
Story
2 nurses, 26lb, 6 weeks
Iain Armstrong and John Harrington are on a mission to lose pounds for pounds to support people with PH.
Rising to the 2.6 challenge, the Sheffield Pulmonary Vascular Disease Unit (SPVDU) nurses have set themselves a target of shedding 26lb between them over the next 6 weeks.
Meet the super slimmers:
- Iain Armstrong, Nurse Consultant at the SPVDU and Chair of the PHA UK
- John Harrington, Ward Manager, SPVDU
"People living with pulmonary hypertension have had their lives turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic and the PHA UK has pulled out all the stops to support them. However, as a charity that relies on fundraising to continue its work, its income has dropped considerably due to the cancellation of so many events.
We work on the frontilne of the UK's specialist pulmonary hypertension service and want to join our loyal supporters in raising money for the charity - and reinforcing that we really are all in this together."
