We would be incredibly privileged if you chose to swim for Frimley Health Charity. Every day, fundraisers like you are having a direct impact on improving our patients lives. By choosing to fundraise for us, we are able to invest in state-of-the-art medical equipment, make major improvements to hospital areas for patients and staff and fund specialist training and research at a time when it has never been needed more, and for that we thank you!
Here’s our ‘Perfect Fundraising Page’ and ‘Top 10 Fundraising Tips’ resources to get you started!
“Frimley Park has been a big part of our lives since early pregnancy with my son, Aaron. Throughout the first few years of his life, Aaron endured X-rays, MRI’s and blood tests to find out why he couldn’t crawl, walk or talk. During this investigation, Aaron was also diagnosed with Epilepsy. In January 2023 we finally received the news that Aaron in fact has a very rare genetic disorder called KBG Syndrome (there are currently only 400 cases around the world). If it wasn’t for Dr Lee’s dedication and unwillingness to give up on Aaron, I feel this diagnosis could have taken many more years. Aaron has regular check-ups concerning his heart, sight and hearing – all of which are areas of concern for people living with KBG. We are so, so grateful for Dr Lee leaving no stone unturned and feel Aaron is in safe hands under his care. I am so pleased to have raised this money for Frimley Health Charity. Thank you Frimley Park Hospital and Dr Lee!!” ~ Laura (Aaron’s Mum)
If you’ve secured your own place in this event and would like to fundraise for us, we would be incredibly grateful. It’s free to do so, and all we ask is that you raise what you can to help us improve our hospital services and the lives involved.
