Event: Thames Bridges Trek 2021, on 11 September 2021
Join the Medical Research Foundation as we trek across the capital via 16 historic bridges to raise crucial funds for research into adolescent Eating Disorders and Self-Harm.

Story

I’m part of a team with colleagues from the Medical Research Council, raising funds for the MRF to support research into adolescent mental health, particularly eating disorders and self-harm.  The past year has highlighted to us all the importance of understanding mental-health, while the pandemic has resulted in much reduced funding for medical research charities.  We want to do our bit to address this! Our team will join 2,000 trekkers to venture across London.  Setting out from Putney Bridge we go East towards the City, zig-zagging over the array of historic bridges to finish 25km later in Southwark past the majestic Tower Bridge. Thanks to support and income from other sources, 100% of all new donations the Medical Research Foundation receive are directly invested into cutting-edge medical research - in areas of high clinical need but where investment is low. By donating to my page you will help the Medical Research Foundation fund more vital research into young people's mental health.
