My new picture - by Orla


Orla has drawn me in my running vest. To compare this to the real me in my running vest go to my justgiving online donation site:

Giving in this way means 28p extra for every pound you donate goes to the hospital thanks to the tax man (or woman).

About my charity : GUY'S & ST THOMAS' CHARITABLE FOUNDATION AND RELATED CHARITIES GUY'S & ST THOMAS' CHARITABLE FOUNDATION AND RELATED CHARITIES
The Evelina Children's Hospital, at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, provides everything from routine care to life saving treatment for over 100,000 children every year. It is “a hospital that doesn’t feel like a hospital” and includes intensive care, neurology, and specialist heart and kidney units. Patients come from London, Southern England and much further a field for life threatening illnesses. While the children receive world-class care and treatment, NHS funding can not meet all the hospital’s needs. This is where the Evelina Children's Hospital Appeal steps in by raising money to buy the very best equipment and facilities.
