Raising money for Barts and The London Charity

Charity Registration No. 212563

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.

In February my friend Eilidh, a cyclist, was tragically killed in a crash involving a LGV (Large Goods Vehicle).

Eilidh was a strong, determined and motivated young woman who has inspired my mum, Marilyn, and I to do a skydive in her honour. We will be jumping on Saturday 17th October. We are raising money for TIGER (Traumatic Injury Group for Education & Research), a charitable fund of Barts and the London Charity. TIGER is a top trauma unit, carrying out world recognised research. Samples of Eilidh's blood were used for research into developing a roadside blood test for trauma victims. Her samples have already proven useful and will help other trauma patients.

Please give generously, we all miss her very much.

TIGER aims to support a wide range of innovate clinical, laboratory and social studies to improve care for severely injured patients treated at the Royal London Hospital.

Please could you also sign this petition to the Prime Minister. It's aim is to reduce the number of cyclist fatalities caused by LGVs (Large Goods Vehicles) to zero.
