Fundraising for Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On Sunday 23rd April 2017 I will be taking part in the London Marathon, running with a possible few walks and likely a crawl across the finish line!
I have chosen to raise money for Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust. Within that I have asked that any money raised go towards the Major Trauma Centre. This department means a lot to me as I spent many years working alongside trauma consultants and seeing the hardworking they put into helping people from all over East Anglia when they are brought into the Major Trauma Centre. Having known some people who have unfortunately needed their expertise I feel this charity means the most to me and therefore I would like to help as much as I can by running for them.
A little bit about the major trauma centre at Addenbrookes Hospital;
Cambridge University Hospitals has been designated as the major trauma centre (MTC) for the East of England.
Up to 800 people every year receive major traumatic injuries in this region – in a car crash, for example. Major trauma is the leading cause of death for people under the age of 40 in the UK.
The major trauma centre form the centre of the regional trauma network, and provide all major specialist services for major trauma patients.
What is major trauma?
Trauma is a condition caused by physical injury. As with all other medical conditions, trauma has a spectrum of severity from simple injury to complex, life changing and life threatening major trauma.
Within the major trauma centre itself, an integrated service is responsible for overseeing and co-ordinating all aspects of outreach support, resuscitation, acute and on-going care, and rehabilitation for patients who have experienced major trauma.
Every little helps and any donation is greatly appreciated :-) x
