Russell's Atlantic Rowing Challenge
Fundraising for University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Charity
Story
University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire (UHCW) Charity makes things better for NHS staff, patients and their families.
Even before the pandemic we all know what a fantastic job the NHS does.
The charity supports the well-being of NHS staff by providing mental health training sessions.
They also fund equipment and improve the environment for patients.
They also support families, funding a bereavement garden for those who have suffered the loss of a child and family communication rooms, so that families can discuss their loved ones' care in privacy and peace.
£10 buys a toy for a child to play with whilst they're in hospital.
£100 funds arts and crafts activities for older patients to enjoy.
£500 funds a heat pad for cancer patient's to manage their pain.
Also as part of this years challenge I will be continuing with my press up challenge as well as reluctantly giving up: chocolate, sweets and alcohol for twelve months and donating the money saved to the UHCW Charity (roughly £10-20 a week).
Thank you all for your continued support.
