MBI Scholar to take part in charity walk for UCL’s Hospital Trust!

MBI Scholar Dr Othman Al-Helli will be taking part in the London Bridgathon, a 6 mile walk starting from Jubilee Gardens on Sunday 21 September 2008, in order to raise money for The National Hospital Development Foundation. The NHDF is a charity dedicated to raising funds for The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, and needs to raise £1.5 million to establish the UK’s first Brain Tumour Unit linked to UCL Hospital Trust's Brain Hospital.

For anyone interested in taking part in this worthwhile cause, please feel free to arrive on the day. Registration will take place at 1.00pm at Jubilee Gardens (next to the London Eye). The nearest tube station is Waterloo Underground Station, from here you can cross Westminster Bridge over to the South Bank where you will see Jubilee Gardens on the left. Please arrive at 1.00pm so that you can register, collect your Bridgathon goody bag/ t-shirt and meet other participants ready for a 1.30pm start.

MBI Al Jaber Foundation wishes the NHDF and all participants the best of luck!
