Many of you know I'm a very keen sailor. This year I have been given the wonderful opportunity of entering the famous Fastnet race.The race starts Sunday 6th August and over approximately 604 miles I will take part in alternating four hour watches on and then off for four days. The yacht I sail on is called "May Contain Nuts" and you can track our progress on Marine Traffic!

During my training I thought fundraising for the Emergency Unit would be a great way to give some small token of appreciation to the many friends and colleagues I work with or help to improve the care for the patients whom we treat daily. I endeavour to achieve this by using any funds raised to purchase equipment either for staff training or delivering patient care. If you are kind enough to donate to this worthwhile cause I thank you in anticipation.
