Having seen first hand the pressures and challenges faced by NHS Hospitals such as St George's, I felt it was only fitting to set my own personal challenge to not only fund raise, but also raise awareness of St George's Hospital Charity who provide additional support and vital funds to the hospital.

A half marathon isn't far for some (admiration to those completing marathons this year), but as we know I'm no long distance runner given I'm usually only committing to the weekly 5km Park Run!

Any small donation would be gratefully received - as a famous supermarket says, every little helps.

ABOUT ST GEORGE'S HOSPITAL CHARITY

We work in partnership with St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, St George’s, University of London and our local community to fund major improvements to hospital facilities, research and medical equipment, schemes that make a real difference to the experience of patients, families and staff, as well as projects within the community that support the reduction of health inequalities and preventable hospital admissions.

All the money raised will make a real difference to the lives of thousands of patients and their families, as well as benefit the amazing team at St Georges and Queen Marys Hospitals. Through funding new medical equipment, ward refurbishments, research, arts and musical therapies and so much more.
