SIX ROYAL Bournemouth Hospital staff are climbing three mountains in 24 hours to help raise money for new projects at the hospital.
Louise Crook, Lucy Wright Booth, Dr Ciaran Dunn, Abigail Fry and Andrea Holloway will be doing the Three Peaks challenge in July, climbing Pen y Fan in South Wales (2,907 feet), Cadair Idris (The Giant's Chair) in Mid Wales, (2930 feet) and Mount Snowdon in North Wales (3560 feet).
Team member Andrea Holloway said: "We all have to raise a minimum of £800 each to participate in the challenge but the monies raised will be going to a variety of areas across The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch NHS Foundation Trust Hospitals."
The money will be going towards the new arm and leg scanner, to the Derwent Orthopaedic Unit and to Ward 3 - a mixed speciality medical ward.
"We are all doing the challenge for a number of different reasons, all personal to each one of us, but all with the same aim of giving something back to help others," she said.
