After the event:
Dear all,
I wish I have enough words to say thank you for all your support. I completed the challenge in 24h and 10 min. It was a great challenge with a formidable team. I had a fantastic time it was very painful at the end but, we did it and it was for a very good cause. Wish you all the best and a big thank you from my heart!!!!!!!!!!! with warm regards, Marcela
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I volunteer to take part in The Intensive Care Foundation Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for research into the treatment and effects of the critically illness but I need your support to make this real.
From the Intensive Care Foundation
"The Intensive Care Foundation aims to save lives by funding research into new treatments for all critically ill patients. There are two main reasons for supporting research in this area - one to save lives as 1 in 4 people die in ICU; the other is to improve the quality of life of patients who survive intensive care.
Symptoms of survivors can include; post traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain and the social and emotional problems that can result in loss of jobs, depression, stress on families. Research will help formally identify the full range of issues survivors have to deal with which will ultimately allow for early diagnosis and treatment to improve the quality of lives of the intensive care patients and their families.
In collaboration with the Intensive Care Society and its members, together with wider healthcare community, developing new products and services, the Foundation intends to lead in the delivery of higher quality patient care by researching into and contributing to evidence based best practice".
