On the 22nd May I am taking part in the Great Manchester Run as part of #TeamHumphrey for Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Charity.  

 Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Charity raises funds to support continued excellence in treatment, research and care at the largest children's hospital in the UK.  They treat over 220,000 patients from across the North-West and beyond each year and it is an amazing facility for the people of Manchester to have on our doorstep.

 All the money raised will support the Time Saves Lives appeal to build a primary access helipad to serve all of the central Manchester hospitals.  Currently when patients, organs or doctors need to be transferred in and out of Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, MRI or Saint Mary's Hospital, they have to land in Birch Fields park and transfer by road ambulance for the last mile.  The children's hospital and MRI are both major trauma centres for the region and having this on site helipad could quite simply be the difference between life and death, recovering well or living with life-changing injuries, for many patients.

 If you want to find out more about the Time Saves Lives appeal, you can watch a short film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPdvd1x1pjU

 So please dig deep for this wonderful cause and sponsor me if you can!
