Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am writing this story to raise awareness about the wonderful work the Royal London Hospital (and NHS) is doing across the country.

Eight years back, my daughter Shreerupa was born prematurely with a body tiny enough to fit in my palm. It was a battle between life and death, survival and permanent disability.  The team of Doctors, Nurses and staff at Neonatal department of the Royal London Hospital fought relentlessly to give her a chance to survive and thrive as any other child. Eight years on, it is difficult to even tell what she has gone through thanks to the brave and informed choices and actions of the staff at the Royal London Hospital.

We all have our stories of frustration with NHS and I am no different. But it is important to recognize the dedication, patience and super-human devotion Hospital staff show every single day of their career and the difference it makes to the lives of thousands of people.

I am running my first ever Marathon to highlight the efforts of the Neonatal department at Royal London Hospital in a poor area like Whitechapel. The money raised will be used for buying equipment for the premature babies.

It is that time of the year when you are bombarded by the donation requests, so I am not going to burden you further. I have self financed my fund raising target. Please just show your support for the Royal London Hospital (& NHS) by donating £1.

Thank you!
