Nat is lacing up her boots for the second time as she takes on the Great Hospital Hike in honour of her grandad's memory.

After being blue-lighted to the Princess Royal University Hospital in April 2023, Nat's grandad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He passed away peacefully at home in May 2023.
Nat wanted to show her thanks to King's for everything they did for her grandad during his last few weeks, and the Great Hospital Hike was the perfect way to do that while honouring his memory.
Every step I took was in memory of my grandad as he didn't mind a long walk himself

Along the way, Nat met many people with a shared connection to King's and a common reason for taking part in the hike.
I got to meet fellow walkers and groups who all had a story, of loss or surviving something. While walking I enjoyed listening to their stories but also the atmosphere of all of us there together.
