I'm running the Great Eastern Run for #TeamRoyalPapworth to raise funds to support vital projects across the hospital.

I have seen first-hand the benefits the Royal Papworth Hospital Charity has had both directly and indirectly on patient care. From funding staff training to the creation of patient education material.

Sponsorship raised will help to provide specialist equipment, support relatives with last-minute emergency accommodation when the unimaginable happens and fund crucial research that will save lives in the future.

This is a massive personal challenge for me, I took up running a couple of years ago and have slowly built up my fitness and finally feel comfortable taking on this challenge.

I'd be incredibly grateful for any amount that you may be able to spare to help support the work of the charity.

Thank you all, and I will share updates from my progress as time goes on.

Upped my target to £1000 due to the overwhelming support!
