There are so many ways in which you can get involved to support the work of the King’s College Hospital Charity. From hiking and cycling to coffee mornings and quizzes there is something for everyone.
Become a King's Hero and take part in the 2020 London Landmarks Half Marathon for King's College Hospital Charity. Back for its third year, the London Landmarks Half Marathon is a closed road route which showcases the very best of the capital’s landmarks and celebrates its quirky and hidden history.
Brace yourself for a fast-paced and physically challenging adventure, as you take on the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales. Considered as one of Britain’s toughest outdoor challenges, the national Three Peaks Challenge takes in the dizzy heights of Ben Nevis (1,344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (1,085m)
Conquering Mt Snowdon is an incredible achievement, and an amazing day hike. But can you imagine the added challenge of trekking by torchlight? The beauty of having the moon as your backdrop, and arriving on the summit just in time to see the sunrise?
Organise your own event and do something amazing for patients in the hospitals we support. From bake sales to quiz nights our fundraising team will be on hand to give you any advice you need. Whatever you choose, you’ll be doing something extraordinary for our patients.
Helen Doyle was rushed to King’s College Hospital A&E from her local GP surgery in late October 2016. Helen, a keen runner, had been struggling to walk due to cramping in her legs but had assumed it was pulled muscles and ignored it. She went to the GP when it became nearly impossible for her to walk and her feet went numb. Doctors at King’s quickly found that the main arteries going to each of Helen’s legs were completely blocked with blood clots.
Getting better after an illness is a good reason to celebrate. One great way to show your appreciation is ask friends and family to donate to King’s College Hospital Charity rather than buying presents for a birthday, an anniversary or Christmas. You can even chose for your donations to go to the ward or department that cared for you.
