I had been volunteering with my greyhound, Dido, with HDU and critical care staff in St Thomas' Hospital up until the outbreak of COVID-19. Although I have kept in touch with many of them, it's a privilege to be able to try to raise funds for the team.  

So,  if you should spy an elderly lady, with bright red hair, walking an elegant greyhound whilst picking up odd bits of rubbish with a grab stick and a black bin bag - that'll be me and Dido raising money for the 30in30 Challenge!

As I'm not into doing press ups or running; nor am I handy at sewing or baking; I thought this would be the challenge for us!

Dido and I will be picking up a minimum of 30 pieces of rubbish everyday for 30 days in Lambeth's streets and parks come rain or shine.

A donation today will make sure this extraordinary critical care team are supported in every aspect of their wellbeing, from access to supermarket essentials to comforting spaces to rest during long shifts. As NHS staff care for everyone who needs them, you can help care for them by supporting this 30in30 Challenge!

With thanks from Dido and Diana x
