This year, we are encouraging each walker to try and raise at least £100 in support of our medical equipment fund, so we can make this a fundraising night to remember.

Funding the purchase of medical equipment that enhances diagnosis, improves treatment and delivers better care has and continues to be a key focus for us. Equipment we want to fund this year will benefit patients across a range of services including surgical, breast radiology, respiratory, colorectal, ear, nose and throat, maternity, frailty and physiotherapy.

Last year, we had 300 people take part, raising over £60,000, which was a magnificent effort by all involved. Over half of the monies raised are being used to ensure all families that lose a child at Kingston Hospital can face the unimaginable with the support of an experienced bereavement psychologist.

Those taking part also have the option of choosing to raise funds for a service or ward that matters to them. If you do choose to support a particular service or ward rather than our equipment fund, please remember to provide details on your JustGiving fundraising page when you set it up.
