About my charity
:
Barts and The London Charity
We are the independent registered charity for the three hospitals of Barts and The London NHS Trust – Barts in the City (Britain’s oldest hospital, founded 1123), The Royal London, in Whitechapel, (founded 1740) and The London Chest, in Bethnal Green (founded 1848) - and their excellent schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. Charitable giving by patients, local communities and businesses has always played and will continue to play a vital role in our hospitals. Their support helps provide state of the art facilities and equipment; supports cutting-edge research and innovations in treatments and ensures the best possible standards for our patients, staff and local communities. The hospitals still rely on the generosity of donors and volunteering from people in our diverse local communities and from those further afield. The Charity’s vital work cannot continue without the help of people like you.

| My personal message: |
As many of you know, I am a paediatic registrar, currently working at the Royal London Hospital. On September 13, 2008, I want to take part in a 9 day Trek along the Great Wall of China in aid of the Barts and the London Charity. The sponsorship raised will go towards the medical research arm of the charity.
My trekking challenge will start in Jinshanling with a trek that loops along the mountains either side of the Gubeikou Gateway. Each day I will trek approximately 12kms along the stony path, through the mountains and on completion of the challenge we will return to Beijing. To undertake this challenge, I need to raise £2500 in sponsorship by June 2008. Please note that I will be paying the full cost of my trip myself, so any donations made will go directly to the charity. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barts and The London Charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
