Story

We are NHSBT Portsmouth. We travel all over Hampshire collecting life saving blood & we are raising money for Cancer Research & our Sister team in Southampton are raising money for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

The reason for our challenge is to support three of our dear friends and colleagues. One has recently beaten Lung Cancer, one brave lady is at the start of her fight with Breast Cancer and finally one is in an ongoing battle with Sarcoidosis. When a much loved colleague goes through a fight like this it has a devastating affect on the whole team.

We want to raise them up and support them by stepping out of our comfort zone & doing a cold water dip in the sea. On the 23rd April 11.00am we will be braving the shores of Hill Head and we are aiming to stay in the sea for the same amount of minutes as the temperature of the water. For example water temp 9 degrees = 9 minutes!

Please sponsor us by donating to these wonderful charities and help us to support the vital work they do. No donation is too small! 

Many thanks from The Portsmouth Team
