#Gr8 500kms

In January as a team we are running & walking 500kms to raise money for our amazing colleague Tilly.

We are a group of nurses working together in a hospital, where we support patients and relatives through some of the hardest moments they will ever face — but nothing prepared us for seeing one of our colleagues as a patient.

Our colleague and friend Tilly has recently suffered a stroke. This came completely out of the blue and has turned their world — and the lives of those who love them — upside down. As nurses, we know how devastating a stroke can be, especially for someone so young. Recovery is often long, uncertain, and incredibly challenging — physically, emotionally, and financially. This fundraiser has been set up by Tilly’s colleagues to help ease some of the pressure during this incredibly difficult time.

Tilly has always been the person who shows up for others — a supportive teammate, and a kind friend. Now, we want to show up for her!

As a team we have pledged to run or walk 500kms in January. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much. Thank you for taking the time to read their story and for helping us support one of our own when they need it most.
