Our amazing Outpatient Manager, Gemma Sinclair, took on the Run the Month challenge to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer.
The challenge was to run 26.2 miles throughout January, and in true Gemma style, she absolutely smashed it, completing the distance with almost a week to spare and raising £330 for the charity.

As a specialist Urology Nurse, we can all understand why this particular charity was so important to Gemma, and even though the challenge is complete, you can still donate by clicking on the link below.
A huge well done to you from all of your colleagues at North Downs Hospital
