Raising money for

Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation

Charity Registration No. 1073031

We want to give patients the best possible chance of surviving breast cancer. That's why Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation is joining forces with Bosom Pals patient support group to raise money to improve screening services at the hospital.

We need your support to raise £750,000 towards this ambitious project. This will enable us to buy two full field digital mammography machines and associated I.T. equipment. This improved technology will help to provide shorter examination times, better technique and image quality - helping to detect early and small cancers.

My story

Welcome! Chances are you know who I am already, but if you don’t let me introduce myself. My name is Danny Pledger. I’m a roller coaster enthusiast, I work at Adventure Island and I like doing things for charity. In the past I’ve done a few charity events, most notably a Green Scream Marathon: 12 hours on the Green Scream roller coaster at Adventure Island, and a Rage Relay: Five people occupying two seats on the Rage roller coaster for the duration of a park open day in a ‘relay’ style, which amounted to about five hours on the ride.

What I’m embarking on now is a new challenge, a tough test of endurance and stamina. I’m not a walker. I don’t go rambling. What I am preparing to do will push my body to the limit. The longest I have walked in one trip before starting training for this is twenty five miles, and that was over three days. I plan to walk from Rage to Saw - approximately 60 miles - as quickly as possible. I have no idea how long it will take me.

Of course, I wouldn’t just walk sixty miles for no reason at all. I’m doing it to raise money for Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation. What I am going to need is support and sponsorship - so please sponsor me!
