Vicky and I are taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Toubkal in the Atlas mountains in Morocco to raise money for University Hospitals Sussex to give something back to the organisation I am proud of being a part of.

Whether we are staff, family members or patients, we see everyday the hospital teams work tirelessly, often in incredibly demanding circumstances, delivering expert treatment, compassion and support when people need it the most.

The money raised will help fund projects that go beyond NHS funding, including improved patient care, specialist equipment, innovative research and enhanced facilities that make a real difference to patients and their loved ones.

If you are able to support us, no matter how much you donate, you'll be helping University Hospitals Sussex continue to make a real difference to thousands of people's lives across our local communities.

Thank you for your generosity, encouragement and ongoing support.
