If you’ve watched 24 Hours in A&E, you’ll know that King's College Hospital is one of four Major Trauma Centres in the south of England. You may also know that trauma is the biggest killer of under 40s in the UK.

But did you know that when seriously injured patients arrive at KCH by helicopter, they land in a park nearby, with patients transferred to the hospital by ambulance? This can take as long as 25 minutes.

In a medical emergency, every second counts.

If KCH had its own helipad, doctors could start treating seriously injured patients more quickly. And this will save lives.

With your help, King's can give patients the critical care they need, even faster. Please consider doing your bit to ensure a helipad at King's College Hospital can be built by sponsoring me to run 10K.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Before you go, please take a further 2 minutes to watch the following video of doctors and nurses from 24 Hours in A&E explaining how a helipad would help them save more lives:
