Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page!
We're a team of Nurses, Trainee Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Qualified ANPs, Doctors, HEMS Specialist Paramedics, Physiotherapy Assistants, a Policeman (to keep an eye on us) and an Artist and an Actor (got to have some creatives!), who have joined together to raise money for Eating Stones Fund. We also have a team 'Thomas', probably the fittest member of the group. At the ripe old age of 13 he will be aiming to waltz round the 24 miles and 5,200ft of ascent in the under 12-hour challenge time to make the rest of the old folks look bad ;)
We will be aiming to take on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. These peaks form part of the Pennine range and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The majority of our team either have worked in, or still work in and around Major Trauma at Leeds General Infirmary. We are hoping to raise money for ESF who work to bridge the gaps in accessing healthcare for some of the world’s most vulnerable people, living in rural communities in Kenya. Through training nurses, sponsoring family health plans and helping people overcome daily challenges, barriers, pitfalls and stigmas when it comes to seeking prompt, effective, health interventions Eating Stones works to create healthier communities so that people can thrive.
You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal!
