NAPS is one of the many universities forming the National Paediatric Society and they invite you to take part in the National Paediatric Society Fundraising Week running from 11th - 17th October 2020. This is an effort to overturn the negative impact of COVID-19 on charities. Nationally, everyone will be walking/running/cycling the distance between ALL major Paediatric Hospitals in the UK, to raise money for Young Minds. You can help by donating on their JustGiving page and by joining both the groups on World Walking. World Walking is the app that will be using to track everyone's distance is their regions!
