The Great Hospital Hike 2024 - Gillian's Story

Gillian is walking 18 miles for the Great Hospital Hike again as King's means so much to her.

The 2024 Great Hospital Hike will be Gillian's third hike, and while she is also a keen walker, she has personal reasons for taking part.

A few years ago, Gillian was seriously ill, and thankfully, King's was able to help save her life.

This was one of the reasons that inspired Gillian to become a trustee for King's College Hospital Charity.

King's is important to me because, when I was very sick, I was able to go there and get the treatment that I needed that basically has allowed me to survive.

During the Hike, there's lots of support, lots of enthusiasm. I can thoroughly recommend it as a nice, healthy way to spend a day outside.
