Ava and I are very excited to be supporting the incredible hospitals we have in Nottingham by joining 'Hike for Your Hospitals'.

To say these hospitals and the amazing staff that work there are special to me would be an understatement. I’ve had numerous operations and countless consultant appointments at both City Hospital and QMC over the last 15 years, as well as fertility treatment that enabled me to have my daughter.

Together, Ava and I will be walking 500,000 steps over the next six weeks and hopefully raising some money for the wonderful Gynae Oncology department at City Hospital. My consultant there is amazing and I trust him with my life (OK, I’ve kind of had to!) and the nurses are kind, caring and supportive, and seeing those familiar, lovely faces after coming round from major surgery makes the world of difference.

Nottingham Hospitals Charity is an NHS charity that raises money to support Nottingham’s hospitals: QMC, City Hospital, Ropewalk House and Nottingham Children’s Hospital 

We would be so grateful if you would sponsor us and donate to the Gynae Oncology department at Nottingham's City Hospital.

Thanks so much,

Lou and Ava xxx
