Action Medical Research was founded to develop the first polio vaccines. Haven’t had polio? You have Action to thank! They continue to fund research into the prevention, treatment and cure of severe illnesses in children, including research in my lab, which aims to prevent babies being born too soon.

I’m supporting Action Medical Research by climbing the capital! On 10th October, I will climb* three of London’s iconic skyscrapers, a total of 3,182 steps and 475m of ascent.

* Using to stairs, to be clear. I’m not Tom Cruise.
