Royal radiologists vs. the Yorkshire 3 Peaks
R W is raising money for Worldwide Radiology
Story
LATEST UPDATE 7th AUGUST
WE DID IT!!
Despite sideways rain for almost the entire time we managed to do it! Sore feet/knees and very soggy clothes all round.
We are so thankful to everyone who has donated to the cause. It made the pain all worth it!!
UPDATE. We are overwhelmed by the generosity (and faith) of our friends and family so far. Thanks so much to those who have already donated. We have increased our goal to try to raise even more for Worldwide Radiology.
Sheetal, Rashika, Cat, Jehan and Becki are taking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge to help raise money for Worldwide Radiology, a charity we greatly admire and some of us have direct experience working with.
Despite having limited (OK, virtually no) trekking experience, we are willing to give the 38km (with 1585m of ascent!) a good go and see how many of us survive till the end!
Who are Worldwide Radiology?
Medical imaging has revolutionised the practice of medicine for those who can access and afford it. However, the majority of patients in the world do not have access to even the most basic imaging tests. Even where such tests are available, a shortage of skilled trained staff means that the tests cannot be interpreted and therefore cannot accurately inform diagnosis and patient management.
Worldwide Radiology support the development of appropriate high quality imaging services in low and middle income countries. They train and work together with healthcare staff to build the necessary skills and capacity to improve patient care and aim to increase opportunities for imaging research focused on local or national healthcare priorities
