Story

I'm fundraising for Barts Charity to support the work of the wonderful staff on the Acute Admissions Unit at the Royal London Hospital where I have worked for nearly 7 years.

I will be attempting to break the record for the fastest marathon in a nurse's uniform by a female runner! Unfortunately Guinness world records has not accepted my application as they said my uniform does not comply with their 'criteria' of what a nurse wears.  However  I will still be aiming to beat the current official time of 3 hours 8 minutes and 54 seconds.

We have previously used the charity fund to buy equipment for the ward such as dementia friendly clocks and signage, a bladder scanner and some furnishings for the staff room and day rooms.  

Thank you for supporting the cause!
