Event: Walkie Talkie Tower Climb 2020, on 29 February 2020
Take on the only tower run challenge with its finish in a sky-scraping urban oasis. Climb the capital's legendary Walkie Talkie building to its unique Sky Garden summit and raise money to help seriously ill children at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Story

The amazing group of clinicians and researchers working in Juvenile Dermatomyositis at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, the Institute of Child Health and University College London are putting their exercise tolerance to the test in aid of Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM)! To raise further funds to continue supporting the Juvenile Dermatomyositis Cohort and Biomarker Study (JDCBS) which collects data, blood and specimens of those with JDM - to plot how everyone in the UK is doing over years and years, so we can monitor how the illness effects everyone and which medicines work the best!

Please, please sponsor us to help us raise as much money as we can for JDM!

We are a funny bunch of different professionals, some you might know from the clinical side and some you won't know from the scientist side (they're the ones that actually do all the hard work!). From Prof Lucy Wedderburn (from GOS) and Dr Coziana Ciurtin (from UCLH), with Polly Livermore (Senior Nurse at GOS), Christy Piper (Play Specialist at GOS), Dr Claire Deakin, Dr Merry Wilkinson, Beth Jebson and Kathryn O'Brien (the clever scientist people) - we make up your team, who are going to risk showing how unfit we are as we climb 896 steps to the top of the Walkie Talkie Building in London on Saturday 29th Feb 2020.

Please donate if you can and even better, come and bring the oxygen cylinders to the top!
