About the challenge
Olly is an Apprentice Diagnostic Radiographer at the Royal Devon University Healthcare Trust. He has chosen to fundraise for our very own department to help us transform our waiting rooms for the benefit of our patients. On the 16th July, Olly will be running from North Devon District Hospital in Barnstaple to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital at Wonford, Exeter - a distance of 45 miles! Olly is doing this run to not only physically challenge himself but also to help raise awareness (and money!) in the very communities we serve, from the North coast to the South.
About Project Play
Project Play wants to bring colour, fun and adventure into your visit to the Royal Devon and Exeter Medical Imaging department at Wonford, Exeter. We want our paediatric patients to travel our maze of corridors with our explorer characters, who will be custom designed to represent all our children and the disabilities they may live with. Each waiting room will be transformed into a different landscape and wall toys will be installed for patients to interact with and occupy their minds.
Why has Olly taken on this challenge?
"Training as a radiographer, I have seen the immense benefits that a positive and welcoming environment can have on our patients - and I would absolutely love to help us reach our target by taking on a personal and meaningful challenge. It'll be tough, I have never run more than 26 miles in one go before. But I am motivated and with your help, I can raise some money for this amazing cause."
