You're Amazing (Summer/Autumn 2016) Summer/Autumn 2018 | Page 10

Our star supporters Katrina Fell suffers from chronic pain syndrome in her spine, but since receiving support from the INPUT Pain Unit at St Thomas’ Hospital, she is now able to cope through her pain. I would like to raise money to fund some nice comfy chairs for the INPUT programme by running the Great South Run next October. It doesn’t seem like much but when you are in so much pain, good seats are hard to find and can make such a difference! And I’d like to show my appreciation to a great team of medical practitioners. To thank Evelina London for the care they gave his son Devan, who was born with a heart defect, Harry cycled 185 miles from London to Amsterdam. Harry said: One of the things me and my family promised ourselves when we took Devan home, was that in years to come we would like to do something to show appreciation for the great work Evelina London does and for saving Devan’s life. Harry and his son Devan 10 Anene McPeake and her children In September 2017, the German Paediatricians Orchestra took to the stage to perform at Cadogan Hall for a fundraising concert in aid of Evelina London. The orchestra, made up of around 85 paediatricians, is one of the leading amateur orchestras in Germany. The concert raised a marvellous total of £5,488 – a big thank you to everyone who took part and attended. Join our team! Just some of the events you can take part in over the next 12 months The Royal Parks Half Marathon is a 13.1 mile route which sees participants running by many of London’s landmarks and Royal Parks. Anene McPeake successfully ran her first Royal Parks this year. Anene said: A big thank you to the Toy Trust who presented a cheque of £9,452 to Evelina London to buy toys, following their annual Toy Trust Challenge in the Cotswolds. Looks muddy! I ran for Guy’s and St Thomas’ whose amazing support through the birth of my children has never and will never be forgotten. Thanks to all our supporters who ran Royal Parks!
