THREE nurses will be swapping the wards of
Cobham Cottage Hospital to pound the pavements of London on April 22.
Jackie Norbury, Diane Attfield and Celia
Gutteridge are training hard in preparation for their Flora London Marathon run.
The hotfooted hospital staff are running in aid
of the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young.
CRY is a charity which raises funds to provide
medical information on the most common causes of unexpected cardiac death in the
young.
These conditions include thickening of the heart
muscle and irregularities of the electrical impulses that upset the natural
rhythm of the heart and can occur in young people who seem fit and healthy.
CRY are campaigning to introduce
electrocardiogram tests - which would detect the defect - to be carried out in
the community for all young people.
Anyone who would like to sponsor the nurses and
raise money for a good cause can do so via Cobham Hospital on 01932 - 584204 or
Leatherhead Hospital on 01372 -384384
