Third summer 2019 Walk4ECMO challenge completed

 

Completed the Welsh 3 Peaks Challenge with Cardiff & Vale Health Charity.

22nd September 2019 

Raising money for the Critical Care Unit at the University Hospital of Wales (UHW), Cardiff who cared for my son Tom when he was admitted with pneumonia and suffered cardiac and respiratory failure. The amazing CCU team at UHW had the foresight to refer Tom for life-saving ECMO at St Thomas' London, and that saved his life. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing NHS!

In the past I have raised money for St Thomas' ECMO ICU team, but for this challenge I want to say thank you to the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board who played such a key role in saving my son's life.

Walk4ECMO Summer 'Lockdown' Challenges 2020 : Island Marathon

  Event One: Street Island #SocialDistancing 'alternative' Marathon (26/04/20) We've all been made island castaways by #COVID19 but on the last on Sunday 26th March the resident community in   our street   organised a social distancing 'alternative Marathon' charity event to coincide with the postponed London Marathon. Households stepped forward at their alloted time, as part of their daily exercise, to walk, run or stroll laps of our island, contributing to the overall lap counter. The equivalent distance to the 26.2 miles required to complete the Marathon was calculated to be 281 laps of our island. More than ten households participated in the challenge, including a sausage dog and a boxer dog, and when the laps were totalled up it became clear that our street had completed 2 WHOLE MARATHONS!!! The grand total of 565 laps had been made around our island. Excellent effort all round!
