Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I am pushing myself further than ever before by taking on the Thames Path Challenge. I will be walking 100km continuously starting from Putney Bridge, walking all day and through the night, eventually arriving at the Finish Line in Henley on Thames.

I am continuing to raise funds to replace outdated equipment (on the Stroke/Neuro rehab ward where i work) that is vital to support patients recovery during their inpatient stay following a life changing illness/event such as a stroke, traumatic brain or spinal injury or a neuro progressive disease such as MND.

When I see what a fantastic job my colleagues do with each patient, I feel proud that I can do my bit to help them. I have seen patients arrive on our rehab ward from the Acute Hospital on a stretcher, unable to walk, unable to talk, sometimes with feeding tubes in their noses because they cant swallow properly . To see them leave the ward a couple of weeks later without the tubes, some managing to speak and some even showing off and walking out on their own 2 feet makes it all worthwhile.

Please support me in raising those funds to replace the outdated equipment with new improved and advanced equipment that would make such a difference to our patients.

Kindly being sponsored by The Coffee Stop.
