Hide AdShe said: “Like many people, we started the new year looking for a fundraising challenge with a difference. We were feeling bold and confident and were looking for something which would be fun to do as a team. Although we realised it definitely wouldn’t be a walk in the park, we signed up to Total Warrior.
“We’re hoping that putting ourselves through obstacles with painful sounding names like death valley and the cement mixer will inspire people to generously sponsor us so we can raise as much money as possible for the charity.”
The team also includes Damian Staples, communications manager, Kerry Gedney, the trust’s cancer services improvement programme officer, John Slater, former communications officer, Graphic Designer, and Christina Curran, communications officer
They have set a target to raise £1,000 for the charity, to provide extras for the patients and their families which the NHS would ordinarily not be able to afford.

“It’s wonderful to see events like this back on the calendar and we hope that everyone will join Dr Ted to get behind the team by sponsoring them or providing some much-needed moral support.”
