I am a Staff Nurse and I am raising money for the Stars Appeal for observation machines for the frontline wards at my local general hospital. I am running for sponsors, in the British 10K London Run on the 6th July 2008.

The observation machines take manual and automated measurements of blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature and oxygen levels.

Each extra machine means that patients can be monitored more closely when necessary and also saves on valuable nursing time.

My target is to raise enough money for 60 observation machines.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and secure. It is an efficient way to sponsor me: Salisbury District Hospital Stars Appeal will receive the money direct and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

I am very grateful to anyone who sponsors me.

Thank you everyone, from Sue Shaw.
