UCLH Charity

Charity Registration No. 229771

UCLH Charity provides support for patients, staff and medical research at UCL Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The hospitals treat not only local residents, commuters and visitors to the area but also provide highly specialised services for patients referred from all over the UK and from abroad. The Trust has a reputation for innovation and providing patient focussed care, with ambitions to be a world class centre for clinical services, teaching and research. In the past the Charity has provided state of the art medical equipment for UCL Hospitals, invested in health initiatives for staff and funded academic medical research projects in conjunction with University College London. Current projects included a £3m joint venture with UCL Hospitals to develop a pioneering education centre, and the investment of £7m, from past legacies, in biomedical research. We are also developing a UCLH homeless healthcare service, responding to an ‘invisible’ patient group who often lack representation. Your gift is vital, to help us support this essential work into the future.

My story

In April 2009, I shall be taking part in a medical research trek to Everest Base Camp. The research, co-ordinated by Caudwell Xtreme Everest (www.xtreme-everest.co.uk) and University College London Hospital, is a further study into hypoxia (low oxygen levels) and human performance at extreme altitude. This research is aimed at improving the care of the critically ill and other patients where hypoxia is a problem (such as the very young, the elderly and patients with lung disease). There's an interesting news story on BBC at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7811578.stm

After spending 2 nights at Base Camp at 5380m, I shall attempt to summit Island Peak at 6189m and place flags on the summit; for the charity and my main sponsors (inc my employer, Varian Medical Systems)

I have to raise at least £700 towards the research costs (as well as self funding the trek) but would love to raise much more. I've set a target of £2000 which is going to be a challenge in itself. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start donating now!

Donating through Justgiving is quick and secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Caudwell Xtreme Everest and UCLH Charities gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks for visiting, and thanks VERY MUCH for your generous donations..!

Best wishes, Jeremy
