Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I have been treated in the Plastering Room at Trauma and Orthopaedic Outpatients for over a year now. The staff are unfailingly professional and cheerful despite sometimes being harassed and stretched by patient demand. 

Whether or not my ankle infection will eventually heal or, in the worst case scenario, I shall lose my lower leg, will not lessen by a jot the quality of care I have received from all the staff and that includes administration as well as surgical, technicians and nursing staff. 

The Sprint Charity raises funding to help patients by providing training and education to orthopaedic staff again including support staff. It provides an important additional source of funding to assist the NHS in Brighton-Hove and Mid Sussex hospitals.

From 1st August through the rest of Brighton Pride until 8th August the cast I shall be wearing will be a Pride Rainbow colour with suitable Pride rainbow ribbon being sported. As a 73 year it probably isn’t the most appropriate colour for my age so no doubt I shall have to take a ‘bit of stick’. To raise some cash for the charity will be more than worth the Micky-taking......

This fund raising effort will be in association with the Caroline of Brunswick Pub in Ditchling Road, courtesy of Tami the amazing boss lady of the place, and of course the help of her fantastic staff......
