Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity's final Midnight Walk
The Pam Preston Memorial Run was so amazing that Team Intrepid are getting together to raise funds for a bladder scanner:
‘The bladder scanner, allows clinicians to quickly and accurately measure bladder volume, would be used to help treat a variety of patients in the Hospice. A bladder scan identifies any residual urine after the bladder has been emptied, which if left untreated, can lead to infections and increased pain and discomfort. At present we have to borrow a scanner from the hospital or move the patient to where the scanner is located within the hospital. This is happening several times every week. By having a scanner in the building we will cause less disruption and be able to scan promptly and effectively. The new scanner will enable us to improve the care we are giving to our patients.’
The cost of a hospital grade bladder scanner is around £7,500.
Florence Nightingales Midnight Walk has occurred annually since 2010 with a two year hiatus due to the pandemic. The walks have raised over £650,000 with thousands of people taking to the streets and walking over 50,000 miles. 2022 will be their ‘Farewell Walk’ and to show support Intrepid friends and family will take on the 10 mile walk.
