The Great Hospital Hike - Claire's Story

Everyone has their own special story for walking the Great Hospital Hike. Claire took part to raise money for the staff at King's, who saved her brother, Ross's life in January this year. 
Ross with his girlfriend and one of the boys! 

After having a seizure which broke his back and both his arms in the process, Ross discovered he had a brain abscess which needed to be removed. Due to various pre-existing conditions, it was going to be a risky surgery. 

 

Ross made it through and is now on the road to recovery. The family want to raise money to support more life-changing care at King's!

 

The whole family came along on the day to show their support for King's, with Ross joining the walk at the 3-mile mark.
