We are taking part in the Captain Tom 100 challenge because we want to support the incredible staff and patients at our local NHS in Bristol.

We're sure you were inspired watching Captain Tom walk 100 laps of his garden, raising a phenomenal amount for the NHS during the most difficult time in its history. We are so excited to be adding to his wonderful legacy, playing my part in supporting our NHS.

Please support us as we take on my own version of Captain Tom's challenge, starting on what would have been his 101st birthday on 30 April 2021. Whatever you can give, you'll be helping the 12,000 staff and the one million patients they look after each year at Southmead. Thank you and good luck!
