Two sisters from Ryedale have taken on a charity challenge to say thank you for the care they received from the Children’s Ward at Scarborough Hospital.
Beth and Kym Wilford from Ebberston completed their 400 lengths challenge at Pickering pool and have raised over £600 - Kym swimming an impressive mega 140 lengths and Beth swimming an incredible 256 lengths.
Maya Liversidge, Community Fundraiser for York and Scarborough Hospitals Charity, said:
“We would like to say a massive thank you to Beth and Kym. Over the last six months, the pair have both had to spend time on the ward. The girls wanted to give back to say thank you for the care received by all the staff on the ward for making their stay in hospital the best it could be.”
York and Scarborough Hospitals Charity raises money to improve the experience and environment for everyone who uses or visits the hospitals of York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. They support staff to make the hospital experience the best it can be for all who visit and stay there.
Future challenges for York and Scarborough Hospitals Charity include the Helvellyn Sunset Walk, the York 10k, Yorkshire Three Peaks and a Family One Peak Walk.
Anyone wishing to take up a challenge or fundraise for their local hospital can find out more on their website or contact the charity on 01904 724521 or email charity.fundraising@york.nhs.uk
People can also donate directly to the Children’s Ward by purchasing a gift from the Children’s ward wishlist.
