About my charity : Evelina Children's Hospital Appeal Evelina Children's Hospital Appeal
The Evelina Children's Hospital, at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, provides everything from routine care to life saving treatment for over 100,000 children every year. It is “a hospital that doesn’t feel like a hospital” and includes intensive care, neurology, and specialist heart and kidney units. Patients come from London, Southern England and much further a field for life threatening illnesses. While the children receive world-class care and treatment, NHS funding can not meet all the hospital’s needs. This is where the Evelina Children's Hospital Appeal steps in by raising money to buy the very best equipment and facilities.
Charity Registration No 251983
Fundraising target:  £150.00

My personal message:

On Saturday 29th July I completed the 469 ft abseil down Guy’s Hospital Tower .

This is 30 storeys above London Bridge and the highest hospital building in Europe. It really was very scary.

 

I did it to raise money for The Evelina Children's Hospital Appeal who are raising £10 million for brand new equipment for the new Evelina Children’s Hospital which opened in October 2005.

 

Please help me support them – they do some really brilliant work treating babies, kids and teens from all around the country.

 

Thanks for your help.
Laura
