Thank you so much for visiting my Just Giving page.

On 29th September, to coincide with 'World Heart Day', and to keep the memory of our dear friend, Vanessa Garside, alive and well, a group of us are taking part in a 13km sponsored walk/run in and around the beautiful city of London. 

For those who didn't know her, Vanessa worked as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Not many people also knew that Vanessa had heart problems too, and she sadly died of heart failure in December last year.

With your help, we want to raise loads of money to support 'Chain of Hope', an amazing charity that was very close to Vanessa's heart. She took part in a number of missions to Jamaica as part of the medical team treating children with life-threatening heart disease.  You can find out all about their superb work by following the links on this page.

Our aim is to raise approximately £2,500 to help set up a training  scholarship in Vanessa's name, so please dig deep and donate as much or as little as you can to help this worthy cause!

Thanks for your support...Sheila.x
