Thank you! Returning for its third year of running, spinning and climbing, Guy’s Urban Challenge 2017 was bigger and better than ever! Our ‘urban triathlon’ sees participants run 2.4km around Guy’s Hospital and spin 15km on a state-of-the-art Wattbike before climbing 29 floors to the top of one of the world’s tallest hospital buildings, Guy’s Tower. All money raised will go towards helping patients at Guy’s and St Thomas’ or Evelina London. Thank you to all our hospital heroes! £92,711 raised 232 challengers Your support has made a massive difference in our brilliant hospitals – read on to find out more! Leaving a legacy We are very grateful to the late Arnold Freedman, who left a gift in his will to Evelina London. Arnold was a frequent visitor to Guy’s and St Thomas’ over many years. His daughter Carrie explained why the hospitals were so important to her father: ‘My Dad was 20 in the year the NHS was born and was keenly aware of its value. As a child, he spent a protracted period in a London hospital with a condition which was often fatal before the availability of penicillin. He was lucky to recover, but lost a bone in his arm in the process. He would be pleased to know that, due to his bequest, young people can rely on quality treatment, irrespective of their background, ethnicity or financial situation. He was not an extravagant man and I find great solace in the knowledge that he has left such a significant sum to help others in the future, particularly children.’ Find out more about Arnold’s story, and how you can leave a gift in your will at: www.supportevelina.org.uk/arnold About you Your support is incredibly important to us, so we want to make sure you receive the best experience when supporting our hospitals.
