I work for an incredible charity that aids our NHS Trust in providing the best possible treatment and care for patients in Hampshire. 

Funds are raised to buy cutting-edge medical equipment that cannot otherwise be acquired by way of NHS budgets - specifically for Andover War Memorial Hospital, the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, and Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital.

Fundraising by the Hampshire Medical Fund so far this year has very much been diverted to the Dig Deep campaign which raised money to purchase urgent and necessary equipment to give our local hospitals the cutting edge resources needed to tackle the pandemic now and in the months ahead. 

More and more patients are now coming back into the hospitals for a variety of different needs and I would love to raise as much as possible to go towards the outstanding appeals for 2020 (https://www.hampshiremedicalfund.org/2020wishlist) to best support the patients receiving care and the incredible NHS staff treating them. 

On Saturday 19th September, I will begin the National Three Peaks Challenge, climbing the highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales. I'll be walking 23 miles and a total ascent of 3064 metres (fingers crossed!) in 24 hours.

If you are able to give anything to support, I would be so grateful.
