Along with Lucy Hollingworth from the BBC show "Junior Doctors: Your Life in Their Hands" and a host of other friends and family, I'm going to be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for the 'Pluto Appeal.'

The appeal aims to raise over £1million to buy Pluto the Robot for Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. This will be the first paediatric surgical robot in the South of England, with the only other robot in the country being based in Leeds. Pluto would enable surgeons to perform intricate surgery on babies and children with more precision, better recovery times, shorter hospital stays and smaller scars.

Mr Munther Haddad, head of children's surgery at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital said: "Operating on small babies, sometimes weighing less than half a bag of sugar, requires great skill and Pluto allows for unparalleled precision and control and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital can provide a unique level of care to babies and children in the UK."

Pluto the robot will make an enormous difference to the lives of thousands of children in the UK, and your support will help to make it a reality.
