My story

Meet the team who work at Ashford and St Peter's Hospital's-

Kelly & Sam, Parkinson's Specialist team supporting SAMS

Kamla, Dementia Lead at ASPH

Clare & Jane, Medical Secretaries for SAMS

In support of the NHS 75th Birthday we are aiming to run/walk 375 miles as a team in June to raise much needed funds for the SAMS dept. at Ashford and St Peter's Hospital, who do a fantastic job providing medical treatment for Older patients in hospital and the local community.

These include older patients with Parkinson's Disease, Falls patients and in particular, patients living with Dementia. Approx. 2,400 Dementia patients are seen on our wards per year.

Money raised will go towards providing valuable equipment such as Sensory Boards and Activity Boxes which help to calm and reduce agitation and help mentally engage and settle patients living with Dementia on the wards.

We are grateful for your support in donating or sharing our page, thank you.

Since June 1st we have run, jogged & walked 146 miles (235k) in Wales, Surrey & North London! It can be physically challenging to go out running & walking miles nearly every day- not to mention in this sweltering heatwave 🌞 but we have been so lucky to enjoy the beautiful countryside on our travels. Makes you appreciate what we have and what our challenge is for! Thank you so much for your generous donations and support so far to help us raise £750 for our patients living with Dementia in Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals.
